Patient summary
Indicated to manage asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and to alleviate respiratory inflammation by opening airways and reducing swelling.
Mechanism of action
This combination provides long-acting bronchodilation via salmeterol, which relaxes airway smooth muscles, and anti-inflammatory activity via fluticasone, which reduces airway hyper-responsiveness.
Fluticasone + salmeterol is a combination inhaler for the regular treatment of asthma and COPD. Fluticasone is an inhaled corticosteroid that calms inflammation in the airways, and salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that keeps them open. It comes in 250/50 and 500/50 microgram strengths; the original brand of this combination is Seretide.
It is a preventer, not a reliever. Salmeterol must not be used to treat a sudden attack of asthma or COPD, so keep a short-acting reliever such as salbutamol (Ventolin Inhaler) for attacks (MedlinePlus).
Buying Fluticasone + Salmeterol online
Generic fluticasone and salmeterol from India costs a fraction of the original brand. Your asthma or COPD plan should still be reviewed by your doctor.
