Advair: an asthma inhaler

Common Advair Side Effects

Advair has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials. In these studies, the side effects that occur in a group of people taking the drug are documented and are then compared to side effects that occur in another group of people not taking the medicine. As a result, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.

In these studies, the most common Advair side effects included:

• Upper respiratory tract infections, such as the common cold -- in up to 27 percent of people
• Headaches -- up to 21 percent
• A sore throat -- up to 13 percent
• Bronchitis -- up to 8 percent
• Coughing -- up to 6 percent
• Nausea and vomiting -- up to 6 percent.

Some other common side effects with Advair, occurring in 3 percent to 5 percent of people, included:

• Sinus infections
• Hoarseness or voice changes
• Muscle pain or bone pain
• A fever
• Menstrual problems
• Thrush
• Abdominal pain (or stomach pain)
• Diarrhea
• A bloody nose
• Dizziness
• Muscle cramps or muscle spasms.
