The Advair that I’ve used is a disk that doesn’t involve a propellant at all. It’s a dry power that you inhale with your own lung power. Advair is designed to be preventive, to keep you from having symptoms in the first place.
Rescue inhalers like ProAir do have a propellant but you’re not supposed to use those on a daily basis, you save them for emergencies. If your son is using a rescue inhaler every day I’d sure question that.
Asthma is a big reason why I’ve remained in California. I loved Virginia, but I had severe asthma twice a year when I grew up there. Asthma has been rare in the years that I’ve lived here, and never as severe. Don’t know that I’d still be around if I’d remained in the East.
He was using the red albuterol which he claimed was better than the grey one Ventolin
He started on Advair three months ago and his albuterol usage is minimal. I think his inhaler ....he’s used very little. Before he was hitting it a lot...more than just once a day
He’s not very disciplined about proper health stuff
