From the article: Advair: Safety, Side Effects and the Black Box Warning
I always explain to my patients the risks and benefits of any medication that I prescribe for them, particularly when the medication has a "black box" warning. Advair, a commonly used medication used to treat moderate to severe asthma, has a "black box" warning due to some concerning side effects. Are you worried about these side effects associated with the warning? Share you concerns about the warnings associated with Advair, and read what's on others' minds. Share Your Concern
Advair side affects
- Been on Advair since March 2011. I've had white patches in my mouth and on my tonsils even though I rinse after each use. I have severe muscle and bone aches to the point that I have a hard time walking. My doctor has denied that these are not side affects caused by this medication. I, of course, know he's absolutely wrong. I'm going to try to wean myself off of this drug.

Chest pain
- I have been on advair for 3 to 3 years. I have recently started having PVC's and chest pain. Could advair be behind the cardiac problems even though they did not appear when I first started taking the medication?
