Please, be calm. There is no harm!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this troublesome thought on your mind about a possible overdose of this medication. There is no reason to be afraid though you mistakenly took a third dose of this medication right now. This is because the permitted daily maximum is more than 2doses. You take 2 doses not because it is the maximum possible but , because 2doses are able to control your asthma symptoms and there is no reason administering more. Also, you are taking the lower strength and persons do take advair 230/101 twice daily. So, you are well below the maximum daily recommended.

In all, do not be worried. You are still within safe dosage limits. Pay more attention next time not to make any further mistakes.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
