Question:
I WAS ON ADVAIR FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR AND WHEN I WENT TO THE EYE DOCTOR FOR A CHECKUP I HAD THE GLAUCOMAGLAUCOMA TEST AND MY EYES WERE OFF THE CHARTS PRESSURE WISE, ONE WAS 33 THE OTHER 30, IT SHOULD BE BETWEEN16 AND 19.
ANYWAY, I TOLD HIM I WAS ON ADVAIR AND HE ASKED IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO STOP IT FOR A MONTH, I DID AND WHENI WENT BACK MY PRESSURE WENT DOWN IN MY EYES. THE ADVAIR DID HELP, BUT I COULD NOT RISK THAT CHANCE OF LOSING MY EYE SIGHT. NOW I'VE BEEN USING MY ALBUTERAL AT LEAST 4 TIMES A DAY, I KNOW THAT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN.
SO I DECIDED TO TRY THE SERVENT DISCUS ALONE WITHOUT THE STERIOD.
I JUST TOOK MY FIRST DOSE TODAY, ANYONE ELSE USE SERVENT? ANY GOOD RESULTS???
PLEASE LET ME KNOW
THANKS
Answer:
my experience with serevent was terrible, but last i took it about eleven years ago, so it might of changed since then. but after taking serevent, my peak flow would go down very badly (i believe to a 90, which is not good at all). and i ended up having to take my breathing machine to rescue me.
now im taking advair and have no problems at all, not with eye sight or anything. i guess everything affects people in different ways.
