Advair and Broken Bones

[Sandie]

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced broken bones with Advair. My daughter is 10 and has been on Advair for 4 years for mild asthma. She has broken 3 bones in 3 years in just minor kid accidents that should have just been a bruise. At some point, the issue of an increase in broken bones due to Advair and inhaled steroids was raised, but it appears that a couple of other studies ruled that out. I'm not so sure that's not the case. A side affect of Advair is bone loss, but they only relate this to older adults. I'm very concerned and looking for resources, researchers, etc. to get more information.
Has anyone else experienced this, heard anything about this, or can refer any resources I could appeal to?

Yes, my daughter broken her toe (ran it into the stairs when climbing). She took Advair from about 4 until 9 and she also had lots of joint pain. She finally ended up with Adrenal Insufficiency a life threatening rare condition. You need to go to a endrocronologist and have them test her for this because Adrenal Insufficiency can cause bone issues or worse death very easily if she gets sick or injured. Get the blood test from a endrocronologist - trust me. You can get rid of this rare condition when you stop taking the Advair - that is the good news. But my daughter stopped growing on the Advair and I know a friend of hers who did also.
