If you’ve been reading my blog for any bit of time then you’re aware that my daughter has asthma.

If you or someone you know uses Advair Diskus 250/50 or 500/50 please read this notice. My daughter has been on 250/50 during flare-ups but we no longer have that dosage in the house. Her standard dose of 150/50 was not included in this alert.
