TopPrevention of Asthma:

If you are dust-sensitive, especially if you have allergies and/or asthma, you can reduce some of your misery by creating a "dust-free" bedroom. Dust may contain molds, fibers, and dander from dogs, cats, and other animals, as well as tiny dust mites. These mites, which live in bedding, upholstered furniture, and carpets, thrive in the summer and die in the winter. They will, however, continue to thrive in the winter if the house is warm and humid. The particles seen floating in a shaft of sunlight include dead mites and their waste products, The waste products actually provoke the allergic reaction

I have asthma and have been on Fluticasone, Advair, Flonase, Flovent, Beclovent, Serovent and Ventolin. I believe some of them have the same ingredients like I believe Fluticasone is one of the two ingredients in Adavair. Of all the medicines I have taken, none have made a bigger difference than Advair. I use the over-seas generic of Advair because of the price but ever since I started taking Advair about 5 years ago, I have rarely needed my rescue inhaler which is Ventolin or the generic Albuterol.
