Advair is a combination of fluticasone and salmeterol, and is rated
Pregnancy Category C.
The safest steroid inhaler is Pulmicort [budesonide], which has
now had its safety rating raised to Category B. See:

http://www.pulmicortinfo.com/safety/index.asp
"Pulmicort Turbuhaler is the ONLY inhaled corticosteroid with a
pregnancy Category B rating"

If you switch to Pulmicort, you may also need to add a
bronchodilator to replace the Serevent [long acting bronchodilator].

I have just become pregnant and have been using Advair for the last
year. Since the last posting to this the kids.pregnancy and
support.asthma groups in December 2003, has anyone else gained
first-hand experience or solid information regarding the use of Advair
either before or during pregnancy?
