Can someone bring up to date me the difference between Advair Diskus and Symbicort? Which works better for asthma?


Well it's like Coke and Pepsi. What's your flavor? Both have a steroid and a Long Acting Beta Agonists drug in them. Most people who catch advair get the diskus. It's a big bulky purple disk that contains a powder. Advair has an inhaler but I dont see that used as much for some reason. If you choose Advair, ask for the HFA inhaler not the disckus.

As far as inhaling the powder, it takes more force and some do not approaching inhaling a powder when they are having a breathing problem.

The doctor will have samples of both, I would suggest trying one or the other for at least a month. If you don't reckon its working, switch.
