Suggest Alternate For Advair 100/50
I have dilated ascending aorta (thoracic 4.0). I have been taking Advair 100/50 for my asthma. My insurance will no longer cover it. Symbicort is an alternative; but, I read it can cause dilated ascending aorta. Can you recommend another asthma medication that will not make my condition worse?

Who said that symbicort or advair can cause dilated ascending aorta?
There is no such side effect that the drug can cause.
No pack insert of both the drugs mention any side effects as such and also i have been using the combination for years now and havent seen a single case as such
