can u develop kidney stones from using advair since its calcium based?

Answer 1

(Advair = salmeterol + fluticason propionate)

why worry about kidney stones when there is this:

WARNING:
In a large clinical study, more patients with asthma who used salmeterol died of asthma problems than patients with asthma who did not use salmeterol. If you have asthma, use of salmeterol may increase the chance that you will experience serious or fatal asthma problems. Your doctor will only prescribe salmeterol if other medications have not controlled your asthma or if your asthma is so severe that two medications are needed to control it. Salmeterol should not be the first or the only medication that you use to treat your asthma.Do not use salmeterol if you have asthma that is quickly getting worse. Tell your doctor if you have had many severe asthma attacks or if you have ever been hospitalized because of asthma symptoms. If you have any of the following signs of worsening asthma, call your doctor immediately: your short-acting inhaler [inhaled medication such as albuterol (Proventil, Ventolin) that is used to treat sudden attacks of asthma symptoms] does not work as well as it did in the pastyou need to use more puffs than usual of your short-acting inhaler or use it more oftenyou need to use four or more puffs per day of your short-acting inhaler for two or more days in a rowyou use more than one canister (200 inhalations) of your short-acting inhaler during an 8-week periodyour peak-flow meter (home device used to test breathing) results show your breathing problems are worseningyou need to go to the emergency room for asthma treatment.your symptoms do not improve after you use salmeterol regularly for one week or your symptoms get worse at any time during your treatmentTalk to your doctor about the risks of using this medication.Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the manufacturer's patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when you begin treatment with salmeterol and each time you refill your prescription. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You can also visit the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website (http://www.fda.gov/cder) or the manufacturer's website to obtain the Medication Guide.

Answer 3

I am not a pharmacist, but I really don't think so. Since Advair is an inhaled powder, it is delivered directly to the lungs and while it is systemic, it seems that the calcium would not transfer or metabolize in the same way it would in our diet. Besides, I have actually seen reports that kidney stones don't really have much to do with calcium intake. They have more to do with the calcium that is leeched from our bones and turned into kidney stones.
