Asthmatic. On Bystolic, Given Symbicort And Advair. Continue Medication?
I was put on 5mg Bystolic about a month ago and was just given Symbicort because I have had a recent flare up with my asthma. I have always been pretty well controlled with using Advair 100/50 1 puff every morning for over 10 years now. Is there any real big concerns I should be worried about now with taking Symbicort along with my Bystolic and stopping my Advair until my breathing gets better.
