I have tried to use it at my allergist's suggestion on 2 different occasions. After using it 2 xs a day for a couple of weeks I would lose my voice. I believe the Advair caused it. Are there any other concerns with Advair?

As with any medication there are side affects and unfortuneately you have a side effect to Advair. Talk to your doctor about your concerns and see what they have to say. If they want you to continue to take the Advair but you feel that it may affect your voice let them know that you are not comfortable taking it and ask for other suggestions. However, make sure that you are rinsing out your mouth and even try gargling with water after taking Advair. If you don't rinse or not well then you have a good chance of getting thrush(a yeast infection) in your mouth and throat that is very painful and requires lots of antibiotics. This could also lead to losing your voice. But if you rinse well and you still have the side effect, then definately talk to your doctor about it and find a different approach.

I take Advair Diskus and have had no problems yet. I've been on it for a couple of years now. I'd check with your allergist. She's the one who can really find out the source of you losing your voice.

Serious side effects from fluticasone and salmeterol inhalation are not likely to occur.
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop using fluticasone and salmeterol inhalation and seek emergency medical attention or notify your doctor immediately:
an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
chest pain or irregular heartbeats; numbness, tingling, or pain;
a rash or unexplained open sores or bruising; or
worsening breathing or asthma symptoms.
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take fluticasone and salmeterol inhalation and talk to your doctor if you experience
dry mouth, nose, or throat after use;
yeast (or another) infection in the mouth or throat (white patches);
hoarseness or deepening of the voice, cough, or sore throat; nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea;
dizziness, headache, tremor, or nervousness.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
