I went on Advair for asthma about 5 months ago - I started getting bad leg aches at night. I have heard now that this is a side effect of Advair - I wanted to find out if anyone else has had this - and if so, how long did it last after you quit taking the Advair? It has been 4 weeks and my legs still ache at night - nothing seems to relieve it.

I have had some circulation problems since going on Advair and have noticed a fast weight gain....has anyone else had this problem. I have been on Advair for 1 -1/2mos now.

I have been on Advair for 3 years. I never thought it could be related to the leg pains that I suffer with every night. Thanks for the heads up, I will have to do a little research on this drug now. I will say one thing though, I have not been back to the hospital with an asthma attack in 3 years. It seems like there's side effects on everything!

Are you talking about cramps in your legs or a steady ache? Any particular part of your legs? I stopped taking Advair because of always having a cold while on it. Haven't had one since and the leg cramps are much less of late also.

I had originally posted this in August of 2005. Since then not only because of the leg aches (mainly in my thighs and hips) at night, but also because I found with ME that I was actually having to use my Albuterol Inhaler MORE often when taking Advair, AND I had an asthma attack and had to go to the hospital after taking Advair. I went off of Advair in September and about Mid-December or so my nightly leg aches went away, AND I have not had to use an inhaler (Albuterol) rarely at all - I use it now about twice a month!!! I am sensitive to new drugs, but this Advair was one of the worst for ME. Thanks for sharing.

Meggie, the Advair ads warn that some people get serious reactions to one of the ingredients (serevent, I think).
