Q: I am taking Advair, but I use it as needed such as twice a day, or once a day or not at all on some days. Is this a correct method? I try to limit the dosage in order to limit the side effects.
Advair (or Symbicort or Dulera) is a top line medicine for treating asthma because it treats the underlying airway inflammation to help control and prevent asthma. To get the best results from this medicine you should use it every day even when you feel good -- especially when you feel good. If you don't use it every day as prescribed it won't work the way it's supposed to.
