Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / January 2004Sterioid Inhalers..........
Hi, I'm doing my own survey on the different kinds of Steroid Inhalers people use. I use Flovent Aerosol.....That's being discontinued, as Serevent has been, I tried Advair...........didn't work, sent me into an asthma attack. Ive done lots of research and i found the below 2 meds to replace. Aerobid-M - Replacement for Flovent Combivent - Replacement for Serevent Has anyone used these 2 in combination or, used different inhalers with success. I cant use the powder in halers, they don't work for me. Thanks Nancy Hi, my son just uses albuterol and it's effective for the most part. We have also used Xopanex via the nebulizer.

We >have also used Xopanex via the nebulizer. The steroids are supposed to reduce the need for albuterol The problem with albuterol is that it only treats one asthma symptom. It does not address the underlying disease. "It's not American foreign policy, or the plight of the Palestinians, or America's longstanding support for Israel. A group of people with money and weaponry have simply decided that we, as a civilization, are unfit to live, and want, eventally, to exterminate us." 'Christian Century' magazine Flovent is not being discontinued anytime soon, presuming that you are in the U.S. I have been on Combivent, and it is not a replacement for Serevent in my opinion. Doesn't last nearly as long. I'm on Flovent aerosol and serevent discus. I checked with Glaxo recently, and they said that the steriod inhalers will not be discontinued for a couple of years, if at all, in the U.S. Thank you for the info on Flovent, eases my worries on a replacement.

I worry that the cfc inhalers will someday be gone. I cannot take powdered discus steroids due to recurring thrush infections. Thankfully, the Serevent discus works fairly well for me. I hope the Serevent discus works for me too..! works > You're welcome, and I know exactly how you feel. I worry that the cfc > inhalers will someday be gone.
