I have been using Advair recently for coughing from sinus drainage. I only have a very mild case of asthma. Two sinus surgeries have helped. Yesterday after using it in the AM my lips and mouth area tingled. I became very warm and then cold to the point where it was dripping off my forehead. I had a hard time breathing and had a panic feeling. Then my feet and legs began to ITCH. It moved to my arms, back and down the body. Later my whole body ached which lasted 24 hours. I immediately called the doctor and went on Benedryl. He also phoned in medication for the itch. After reading some of the posts, I now know where my weight gain is coming from. Never will use it again.

My daughter has been diagnosed with Asthma since she was very young. Her symptoms always worsened during the winter, with viruses and such. A few years ago she was put on Advair as a controller, along with Singulair. She developed hives that same winter. I laugh now to think of it, out of pure irritation. She has been battling chronic hives every winter since. Winter is the only time she is on her asthma controller as well. No doctor has been able to give us a reason for the hives and says we may never know why. I have been doing my research and discovered hives are a side effect of Advair- Why on earth didn't one of the many doctors at U of MN or Mayo catch this???? Not to mention the initial doctor that put her on the Advair and saw her for the hives at the start of this catastrophe??? Her hives were so severe her eyes were swollen shut and her lips swelled. Needless to say, she will not be taking this medication again!
