Salmeterol 50mcg + Fluticasone 500mcg

Description:
Salmeterol 50 mcg + Fluticasone Propionate 500 mcg is a fixed-dose combination inhaler used for the maintenance treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Salmeterol is a long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA) that relaxes bronchial smooth muscles, improving airflow.
Fluticasone is an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) that reduces airway inflammation and prevents asthma symptoms.
This combination provides prolonged bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory control, helping reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks and COPD exacerbations.
Tags:
- Provides 12-hour bronchodilation for asthma/COPD
- Reduces airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness
- Improves lung function and exercise tolerance
- Decreases frequency of asthma attacks or flare-ups
- Once or twice daily dosing improves compliance
Usage Information

Adults and adolescents (>12 years): 1 inhalation twice daily (usually morning and evening) Inhalation technique is critical: Use a spacer if needed, and rinse mouth after each use to avoid oral thrush.
