asthma, maintenance
"I was on Advair for about five years and was able to breathe easily almost immediately after starting it.  Before Advair, I used albuterol 6-10 times daily.  I used to take the 500/50 Advair only once per day.  Using it twice a day didn't make a difference in breathing, so that saved some money.  I never had a thrush problem; actually, I never rinsed out my mouth at all.  The reason I'm not using it any longer is the HUGE cost.  My insurance is no longer covering it and I cannot afford over $300 for just one diskus.  Am now taking Singular and am back using the albuterol rescue inhaler 6-7 times a day."
