Advair Cost/usage
UpdatedI am supposed to use twice a day (250/50 for COPD), but the cost, along with my other meds will put me in the Medicare "doughnut hole" within 3 short months. I am thinking of only using it once a day in spite of my doctor's recommendation. How will this reduced usage likely affect me ?

Have you informed your doctor of the price issue?
There may be an alternative that they can prescribe for you, or put your Advair as once a day and then a different medication for the other dosing.
The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.
