Wixela is the generic for Advair. Advair is used as a ongoing treatment for bronchial and lung issues.

I was put on several different medications prior to this one and the did not work. The atrovent actually made my symptoms worse. The Advair (Wixela) worked immediately and have been using it since.

The only instructions I got on it was to use it daily. I was only using it when had flare ups but was told it was designed to prevent flare ups so needed to be done daily. I did not have any side affects to it. I was told about Thrush and to make sure you wash your mouth out immediately after doing the inhaler.

If you look at your Wixela the active ingredients are Fluticasone and Salmeterol. I can actually feel the powder in my bronchial area.

I think important to keep trying something that works for you. I think from your post you are having issues with your provider. Do you live anywhere a Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic. Mayo is in several cities, so is Cleveland Clinic. They have outstanding specialist and a great second opinion program.
