User Comments about Advair HFA
30 Jan 2012 It really helped my asthma, but it's very expensive to buy.

12 Sep 2011 seems to help but I prefer to just take my albuterol

13 May 2010 Taking too early in the morning means I'll have a dry mouth while trying to work/talk with people. Taking too late causes insomnia from the steriod. Occasionally causes a pretty significant headache. I'm only able to take it once/day in the middle of the day due to unplesant side effects. However my breathing has gotten much better

26 May 2009 I took it for 2nd level allergy, which is considered to be the stage before asthma. It seemed to work well, and I haven't had any problems afterwards.
