I don't think that Advair helps everyone; but, for me it was a dramatic improvement. Within a few days my PFT's went up 2%. Within a couple of months, they were up 10%. My O2 level returned to a resting normal of 98%. It was exactly what I needed and I would not be without it now.

I don't know if my answer is what you're looking for...I don't know if it increased my pft's. However, used twice daily, it has helped my airways stay more open between breathing treatments. I think that alone is worth it, regardless of pft numbers.

Oh, and...
Inflammation in and of itself can cause lung damage - so the less inflammation, the better, even in the long run.

So, for both of those reasons, I think it's worth it.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I'm on the 500/50 dosage of it. I really feel a difference in my asthma when I'm on it. It took awhile for me to get the full benefit, but now I love it. It's one of those type of meds where you think "I don't feel it doing anything...why take it?" Remember that the effect is long term and that it's not going to open you up instantly like a bronchodilator.
