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 ...

inhalation powder ## Serevent Diskus contains the active ingredient Salmeterol This medicine is a beta receptor stimulant used to prevent or minimize problems in persons with breathing difficulties including asthma and chronic obstructive disorders of the lungs such as chronic bronchitis or emphysema.

Hallo doctor I am 65 years old 1.79m tall and normally weigh 90kg. My weight starting to drop to 84 kg in a short period of time.I uses topzole,stillen , foxair and vasomil medicine daily.What could be the cause of the weigh loss? ## I'm not a doctor, but based on my research none of the following medications you've mentioned list weight loss as possible side effect... Vasomil (Verapamil) Foxair (Fluticasone + Salmeterol) Stillen (Eupatilin) Tozole (Pantoprazole) Vasomil however, does list "loss of appetite" as under serious side effects that should be reported to your doctor immediately.

Hi. I am a 61 year old male with a history of asthma and an MI 15 years ago. I had a kidney stone this week and went to the hospital. They gave me two successive ivs of toradol (pain continued after first) along with 4 liters of saline iv. The stone passed into my bladder and my pain relented. After discharge they gave me a prescription for toradol tabs and flowmax. I noticed the first day that my breathing was shallow and I was out of breath with the least exertion. Steroids and salmeterol didn't help my breathing much. I thought it was an aftereffect of the kidney stones until I read toradol side effects. Now 24 hours after I stopped taking Toradol I am still short of breath. How long can I expect this to continue? ## Hello, John! How are you? Are you still taking the Flowmax? Acc...
