I have moderate asthma. Due to pharmacy errors I had to take a 3-week break from taking Advair. I took my first dosage today and feel very jittery. Probably since the meds not being in my system for that long anyone else have this issue or have not taken a needed med for that long?

I spent three months, with my GP fouling up my prescription for alvesco, so I came off it twice, then came back on it a couple of weeks later each time.

My system certainly did not enjoy the chopping and changing

Advair contains salmeterol with is a long acting bronchodilator, similar to Albuterol which is short acting bronchodilator
