Advair and Thinning Hair

I stopped taking Advair about two or three weeks ago because it caused serious bronchitis and choking. My lung heath has now improved considerably. I noticed today that, whereas my head hair had been thinning, new, short hairs are sprouting. Also, whereas I was had been getting annoying face hairs (not funny because I am a woman). I no longer do. Has anyone else noticed that Advair affects hair growth?

Good. Don't take it. Not only did it almost kill me, but I got adrenal fatigue as well. (Plus the hair business.) In any case, the mortality rate is the same whether you take Advair or not. There are a bunch of natural anti-inflammatories. NAC is good. Vitamin B5 is excellent; take 500 mg; no side effects. Also take a moderate dose of vitamin C. And cut back on sugar because it is inflammatory. See how cheep the solutions are!!!

Advair has a steroid in it, which can cause hair growth, etc. I took Advair for my COPD briefly. I simply did not like the side effects that it seem to give me.
