Advair® is often prescribed to treat airway spasms in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to prevent such spasms in people with asthma. By opening up the airways and allowing more air to get into and through the lungs, the medication can make it easier for people with airway spasms to breathe. The medication comes in two forms: the Advair Diskus®, which contains a dry powder, and the Advair® HFA inhaler, which is a more traditional inhaler. Side effects of the medicine include upper respiratory tract infections, headaches, and sore throat.
