Brief Answer:
Twice per day inhaler.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.
Usually, we recommend Advair inhaler in two dosages or puffs per day.
But it would be better to use it for one month in such conditions.
You will be better soon again.
Hope to have been helpful.
Take care.
