ADVAIR DISKUS can cause serious side effects, including: •

People with Asthma who take long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) medicines, such as salmeterol (one of the medicines in ADVAIR DISKUS), have an increased risk of death from asthma problems. It is not known whether fluticasone propionate, the other medicine in ADVAIR DISKUS, reduces the risk of death from asthma problems seen with LABA medicines. • It is not known if LABA medicines such as salmeterol increase the risk of death in people with COPD. • Call your healthcare provider if breathing problems worsen over time while using ADVAIR DISKUS. You may need different treatment. •

Get emergency medical care if: your breathing problems worsen quickly. • you use your rescue inhaler, but it does not relieve your breathing problems. • ADVAIR DISKUS should be used only if your healthcare provider decides that your asthma is not well controlled with a long-term asthma control medicine, such as an inhaled corticosteroid. When your asthma is well controlled, your healthcare provider may tell you to stop taking ADVAIR DISKUS. Your healthcare provider will decide if you can stop ADVAIR DISKUS without loss of asthma control. Your healthcare provider may prescribe a different asthma control medicine for you, such as an inhaled corticosteroid. • Children and adolescents who take LABA medicines may have an increased risk of being hospitalized for asthma problems.
