Description:
The Salmeterol and Fluticasone Propionate Inhaler is a combination medication used for the long-term management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It combines Salmeterol, a long-acting bronchodilator, and Fluticasone Propionate, an inhaled corticosteroid, to provide both airway relaxation and inflammation control, resulting in improved breathing and reduced frequency of exacerbations.
Therapeutic Uses:
Maintenance treatment of asthma in adults and children
Management of COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema
Prevention of symptoms such as wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness
Mechanism of Action:
Salmeterol is a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (LABA) that relaxes the smooth muscles in the airways, leading to prolonged bronchodilation and improved airflow.
Fluticasone Propionate is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators, thus decreasing airway swelling and mucus production.
Dosage Form:
Metered-Dose Inhaler (MDI) or Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI), depending on formulation
Prescription Status:
Prescription-only medication
Note:
This inhaler is intended for regular, maintenance use and not for the immediate relief of acute asthma symptoms. A fast-acting bronchodilator should be used for sudden attacks. Rinse the mouth after use to reduce the risk of oral thrush. Use only under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
