Hello,

   I have a question about the side effects to Advair and Montlukast(Singulair).  I was put on Advair 250/50 in July along with Singulair.   I am losing my hair at the temples and I'm breaking out on my face, on the cheeks.  I have not changed my makeup nor my cleaning regimine.   I first blamed this on stress but it's non-stop.  I'm wondering if this is due to the medication.  Don't get me wrong I'm very happy to be able to breathe! :)  But maybe I can cut down on my dosages or stop one or the other.  I've done some searches on google but how do I know if what I'm reading is accurate info.  So now I'm turning to the experts...any comments will be much appreciated.  
Thanks in advance!
Sharon
