Allergic reactions refer to an unusual reaction of your immune system when it comes in contact with certain allergic triggering substances. The allergic triggering substances can be common things that you have always been in contact with but now your immune system can treat them as unknown or dangerous. The allergic triggering substances can include: pollen, dust, molds, foods and danders. For better understanding allergies it is very important to take into account that allergens are substances that are not unknown to the body but they are treated like that by an error of interpretation of your immune system and can trigger sever allergic symptoms for certain people.
When an allergic triggering substance, allergen, comes in contact with your body, your immune system will trigger an allergic reaction symptom for the persons that are allergic to it. This allergic reaction is also known as atopic and the people that experience these symptoms are called “atopic”.
Allergies can appear at any age. Most allergies can appear in childhood but you can experience the first symptoms in adulthood. There is a strong connection between Asthma and Allergies. They both have to do with the airways but the main difference between them is that asthma may persist in adults but allergies decline while aging.
According to recent studies a new medicine for treating allergies is showing promising results. The medicine itself it is not new and it’s actually known as an efficient treatment against asthma. It is the all known Advair Diskus, also known by generic name Fluticasone propionate or Salmeterol and it is available in 0.1 mg, 0.25mg and 0.5mg per dose.
Advair is a steroid and it was mainly used for the prevention of the release of inflammatory substances. It contains two main ingredients Fluticasone and Salmeterol (therefor the generic names). The first ingredient is the steroid which makes 70% of the composition of Advair and Salmeterol is a bronchodilator which helps in the calming of the bronchus. Advair works by relaxing muscles in the airways giving you the freedom of breathing freely. What does this have to do with treating allergic symptoms? Simple, if the muscles of the airways are relaxed, and the airways are cleaned an allergic reaction is impossible because all the allergens have been removed from your airways. Advair has shown to be very effective against breathing allergies just because of the reason mentioned before.
Studies also proved that there are some limitation for treating allergies with Advair. First of all one can develop an alergic reaction to it’s main ingredients fluticasone (Flonase, Flovent) or salmeterol (Serevent), and therefor Advair cannot be used in this case. Also you cannot use this drug in the case of food allergies because this drugs has only to do with airways as it is an inhaler. A weak immune system can also get in the way of using Advair as an efficient breathing allergies treatment. It is critical to consult with your doctor, allergist or health care supplier to get the correct dosage for your condition and your body. Also you must take this medicine as it is prescribed and follow all the instructions such that you can insure a safe usage of this drug. For certain special conditions the recommended dosages must be adjusted and to take some special safety tests before you can use Advair.
The same as in the case of Asthma you must take a constant dosage of the medicine. If you miss a dose it is recommended to take it as soon as you remember about it, but as with any other medicine do not double the dose just to recover a missed one. Doubling your dosage can prove to be very harmful for your body and only double it if your doctor recommends it.
If you are using Advair and you have an allergic reaction to it’s main components like: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat it is recommended that you should stop administrating the dose and seek medical assistance. During the tests for allergy treatment, Advair has shown that some side effects may or may not appear during your treatment. These side effects can include: headache, dizziness; nausea, vomiting, diarrhea; dry mouth, nose, or throat; stuffy nose, sinus pain, cough, sore throat hoarseness or deepened voice.
