Although the Advair Diskus approved for children over age 4, many children under age 5 or 6 have a hard time using the breath-activated Advair Diskus.

Advair contains two medications, a steroid and a long-acting bronchodilator, and is taken twice a day, every day, to help prevent asthma attacks and improve lung function.
