Brief Answer:
No please use one OR the other

Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,

advair and symbycort should not be used together, since both contain a cortisone like substance in combination with another substance that makes the lung "wider". So it is enough to use one of them, but please not both since that can increase side effects such as heart palpations or throat infections.

Best regards and wishing you good health
