Q: took advair for 10 years. stopped for 3 weeks, now on singulair. Asthma was well controlled for 10 years, never using inhaler. But still have nagging cough, seems to increase with singulair
Hi Jaime
I'm not sure, but I would imagine he's probably had good experience with asthmatics taking Singulair alone, and thought you might be a good candidate. If it worked great. Yet it appears the Advair was doing a better job of controlling inflammation in your lungs than Singulair alone. Perhaps you should call your doctor back and recommend he re-prescribe Advair.
I wouldn't think side effects would be a problem with Advair for you, since you were on it for 10 years. So that wouldn't be motivation to get you off. So I'd definitely give him a call.
Let us know how things go. Good luck!
Rick
