2.1 Asthma
If asthma symptoms arise in the period between doses, an inhaled, short-acting beta2-agonist should be taken for immediate relief.
Adult and Adolescent Patients Aged 12 Years and Older: For patients aged 12 years and older, the dosage is 1 inhalation twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart.
The recommended starting dosages for ADVAIR DISKUS for patients aged 12 years and older are based upon patients’ asthma severity.
The maximum recommended dosage is ADVAIR DISKUS 500/50 twice daily.
Improvement in asthma control following inhaled administration of ADVAIR DISKUS can occur within 30 minutes of beginning treatment, although maximum benefit may not be achieved for 1 week or longer after starting treatment. Individual patients will experience a variable time to onset and degree of symptom relief.
For patients who do not respond adequately to the starting dosage after 2 weeks of therapy, replacing the current strength of ADVAIR DISKUS with a higher strength may provide additional improvement in asthma control.
If a previously effective dosage regimen fails to provide adequate improvement in asthma control, the therapeutic regimen should be reevaluated and additional therapeutic options (e.g., replacing the current strength of ADVAIR DISKUS with a higher strength, adding additional inhaled corticosteroid, initiating oral corticosteroids) should be considered.


Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
More frequent administration or a greater number of inhalations (more than 1 inhalation twice daily) of the prescribed strength of [[fluticasone]] + [[salmeterol]] is not recommended as some patients are more likely to experience adverse effects with higher doses of [[fluticasone]] + [[salmeterol]]. Patients using [[fluticasone]] + [[salmeterol]] should not use additional LABA for any reason.
The recommended dosage for patients with COPD is 1 inhalation of ADVAIR DISKUS 250/50 twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart.
If shortness of breath occurs in the period between doses, an inhaled, short-acting beta2-agonist should be taken for immediate relief.
