Asthma Inhaler Deaths Related to Advair & Serevent Use ?

The Willis Law Firm is investigating a number of Advair & Serevent asthma inhaler death claims. Recent medical studies indicate that Advair and it's sister drug Serevent asthma inhaler may be responsible for increased number of asthma deaths in both Whites & Black. These studies were particulary disturbing in the even higher increase of asthma inhaler deaths among African-Americans in the study. Recently, a noted scientist Dr. David Graham identified salmeterol, an active ingredient found in Advair and Serevent, maybe responsible for many of these asthmas related deaths.

Serevent & Advair Deaths

Three common asthma inhalers containing the drugs salmeterol or formoterol may be causing four out of five U.S. asthma-related deaths per year and should be taken off the market, researchers from Cornell and Stanford universities have concluded after a search of medical literature. They base these conclusions on a statistical analysis of 19 published trials involving 33,826 patients. No Advair Recall or Serevent Recall has been announced or planned by the FDA.

This so-called meta-analysis found that patients who inhaled the long-acting beta-agonists salmeterol (trade names Serevent and Advair, both made by GlaxoSmithKline) or formoterol (trade name Foradil, made by Novartis Pharmaceuticals) were 3.5 times more likely to die from asthma and 2.5 times more likely to be hospitalized (whether or not death resulted), compared with those taking a placebo.
