Advair Diskus is a prescription inhaler used for ongoing treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains two medications, fluticasone and salmeterol, that work together to help control breathing symptoms.

• Fluticasone works by reducing irritation and swelling of the airways 
• Salmeterol opens the airways, which makes breathing easier 

Using a combination inhaler like Advair Diskus or its generic equivalent does not carry the same increased risk of asthma-related breathing problems that have been associated with using salmeterol on its own.

Advair Diskus is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used for sudden breathing problems. It is taken regularly to help prevent symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. 

Advair Diskus is available in several strengths, including 100/50 mcg, 250/50 mcg, and 500/50 mcg. Each inhaler delivers a fixed number of doses and is designed to be easy to use with a dry powder inhalation system.

Generic Advair Diskus 

Alongside brand-name Advair Diskus, Canada Drug Warehouse also offers a generic Advair option called Seroflo, which contains the same combination of medications and is often a more affordable choice.

The generic version works the same way as brand-name Advair Diskus and is prescribed for the same conditions, including asthma and COPD. It delivers the same medication strengths and is taken using a similar inhalation device.

Many patients choose the generic version because it offers significant cost savings compared to brand-name Advair Diskus. In Canada, generic Advair Diskus is often much more affordable, especially for people paying out of pocket or without insurance coverage.

Both brand and generic Advair Diskus require a valid prescription.

Many patients search for the cost of Advair in Canada because U.S. retail prices can be significantly higher, even with insurance. Buying through a reputable online Canadian pharmacy can lower monthly medication expenses, especially for people managing chronic respiratory conditions.

Price Table – Advair Diskus 250/50 mcg

Prices vary by dosage strength and quantity ordered. Buying larger quantities often lowers the per-dose cost, which can reduce overall medication expenses for people who use Advair long-term.

Advair Diskus Cost in Canada vs. The U.S.

In the United States, brand-name Advair Diskus typically costs $300 to $400 per inhaler without insurance, depending on dosage and pharmacy pricing. For many patients, this makes long-term treatment expensive when paying out of pocket.

Through Canada Drug Warehouse, prices are significantly lower. For example, a 250/50 mcg generic Advair inhaler costs about $0.80 per dose for 60 doses, while a 180-dose supply brings the price down to roughly $0.41 per dose. Even the brand-name version is more affordable, with the per-dose price starting at $1.05 for 60 doses and dropping further when larger quantities are purchased.

How to take Advair Diskus

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using Advair Diskus or generic Advair.

• Inhale orally, usually twice daily, twelve hours apart.
• Shake your Advair inhaler before each spray.
• Depending on your brand, the inhaler should be used in a level flat position or in a vertical position. This will be clear in the medication instructions.
• During inhalation, you may not be able to taste or feel the asthma medicine. This is normal, and you do not need to take another dose.
• Do not exhale into the Advair device and rinse your mouth without swallowing after each use of your inhaler.
• Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. It works best when used at evenly spaced times. Do not increase your dose or use it more regularly without talking to your doctor.
