Post a new Advair HFA side effect

I too suffered tremendous leg and toe cramps with advair 250/50. Two doctors both agreed it was the blood pressure medicine I was taking (a diuretic). They recommended that I take potassium pills (OTC) to replace the electrolytes lost. The cramps did subside, usually when I took 6-8 potassium pills....it looked like they were correct.....however, I ran out of Advair so I resumed taking Azmacort until I could get my Advair Rx refilled. Guess what, I stopped taking the potassium & I didn't have any cramps !...it had to be the Advair, not the blood pressure medicine! It's amazing how doctors can be so naive about this!
