The Food and Drug Administration has issued warnings regarding the popular asthma inhaler Advair Diskus used by millions of Americans. The Advair inhaler is linked to serious side effects including severe asthma-attacks and sudden death among patients.
you should ask your doctor about what albuterol and advair will do to babies . Albuterol is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether it will harm an unborn baby. Do not take albuterol without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment.
nobrfeed It is not known whether albuterol passes into breast milk. Do not take albuterol without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
