Advair Diskus

Has anyone noticed weight gain or stained teeth due to Advair usage? ## I was just logging on to find out if weight gain is a side effect of advair diskus. I started on advair a little over 2 years ago and since that time I have gained 30 lbs. My asthma doc says that inhaled meds do not cause weight gain. She says that my post-menapauasal status, combined with a less physically active job, are the cause of weight gain.

Trying to find out if the Prasco Generic of Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterold Xinafoate Dry Powder Inhaler (Name Brand is Advair), is gluten and corn free? My insurance won't pay for Advair. Viatris who bought out Mylan says they do not test for gluten in manufacturing process and they can't speak for outside ingredients so did not recommend using Viatris or Milan if you have celiac. ## From what I can see, the only inactive ingredient listed for this particular generic is "LACTOSE, UNSPECIFIED FORM". This is for Fluticasone Propionate And Salmeterol Diskus powder from Prasco Laboratories (NDC Codes 66993-584-97, 66993-585-97, 66993-586-97). Can you confirm that this is the brand you have? ## I don’t have it yet and do not know if my pharmacy can order it. I was ...

I need an updated list of the top 100 prescription medications for 2009. ## I'm sorry, but it is only January, so it doesn't seem the updated list for 2009 has been released, yet. I can only find listings of the flashcards that were for sale to study this list during 2009 and the list that used the sales/prescription data from 2008. That said, here's that list: Please note, the first number is sales ranking, the number in parentheses is how many spots it moved since the prior year, then the drug name, then the $ amount of retail sales and the percentage of change in the units sold since 2007. Lipitor 5,880,128 -4.6% 2 Nexium 4,794,450 10.1% 3 (2) Plavix 3,796,221 23.1% 4 (1) Advair Diskus 3,572,473 5.4% 5 (1) Prevacid 3,295,465 -0.6% 6 (1) Seroquel 2,908,971 15.5% 7 (1) Sing...

I take adderall er 20mg 2 tabs each morning. Also: Combivent, advair diskus, dulera, clonidine, quetapine, lisinopril, metoprolol, montelukast, sumstriptan, Sudafed and flunisolide. Can these interact and show up positive for Methamphetamine on a mouth swab drug test?

I am taking Apidexin and I am on probation. I am also taking Wellbutrin for depression. Would either of these test positive for anything? ## I'm taking the following prescriptions: acetaminophen 500 mg, advair 500-50 diskus, amoxicillin 500 mg, cetirzen 10 mg, clarithomycin 500 mg, cyclobenzaprine 10 mg, diclofenac sod 75 mg, floticasone 50 mg spray, ibuprofen 400 and 600 mg, loratidine 10 mg, mapap 500 mg, montelukast sod 10 mg, naproxen 500 mg, predisone 20 mg, proair 90 mcg, promethazine dm syrup, vitamine d2 50000 unit cap, promoslim diet pills, livlean diet pills. Will this make my urinalysis test positive for cocaine? ## yes promethazine can cause a false positive for amphetamines or methamphetamines. my son who has never done any drugs failed for it in er. after throwing a fi...
