Hello,

 

The best person to answer questions like this is probably your pharmacist. Not only are they more aware of the inactive (non-medicine) ingredients in different drugs, they can provide a more immediate answer.

 

However, I did try to find an answer for you. I don't believe there is any form of alcohol in Advair, as it is an inhalation powder. Nasalcrom contains only these inactive ingredients: benzalkonium chloride, edetate disodium, purified water, so that looks good too. If the albuterol inhaler you speak of is an HFA type, there is a good chance that alcohol is one of the inactive ingredients, but to be sure you would need to find that information on the packaging or ask the pharmacist about your specific brand.

 

Hope that helps,

Kathi

I dont think there is (someone could be allergic to it)

Anyway, Over the past 2 years I kept on thinking if i had asthma or not.

I was coughing and wheezing.

When I do exersize I get out of breath whithin the first minite of exersizing (even the warm up).And occasionaly I get tight chests ,

My mum thinks im just un fit.

Should i go to the Doctor?

Anyone got anything to suggest?
