I took this bc Breo wasnt working for me anymore. I took it for the first time last night and almost end up in the ER. Couple of minutes after I took it, my chest felt tighter, a lot worse than before I took it. I didnt take it as a rescue inhaler, I took it bc its suppose to be bid (twice a day). Now,

Switched from Flovent to air duo
I only take one dose 55/14 every 24 hrs . once per night works great
Used to take Flovent 44 x2 puff per night
Much cheaper generic
Pretty much same as Flovent
Very small amount of salmuterol

I am a lifelong asthmatic and was well-controlled for many years on Advair 500/50 with no exacerbations and no need for a rescue inhaler. To save money, I switched to generic AirDuo 232/14 which was released at the same time as the brand AirDuo and is supposed to be the same. 232/14 is the highest dose of AirDuo available and is supposed to be equivalent to Advair 500/50.
Fairly quickly, my asthma deteriorated and I got an unpleasant reminder of what life is like when breathing takes a lot of effort despite using the maximum allowable amount of albuterol daily along with a Qvar steroid inhaler. Fortunately, ditching the AirDuo and switching back to Advair quickly got me back in control without need for anything else. If you're on a lower dose of Advair, AirDuo might work for you but if you're on 500/50, I'd be very careful about switching.Read More Read Less

Works as well as Advair but with a lower dose needed, due to the different delivery method. For me, it is as good as, if not better that Symbicort, as well

Very horrible drug should be pulled from market as it's dangerous. I only used it a couple days made my asthma much much worse. Constant cough, throat felt like it had blades in it. How dare they offer such a nasty product to patients.
