Fluticasone/salmeterol inhaler

Asthma preventer inhaler

COPD maintenance inhaler
Fluticasone reduces inflammation and mucus production in the lungs, making the airways less sensitive and reactive.
Salmeterol relaxes the muscles in the airways, keeping them open for up to 12 hours to prevent symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath.

Together, they offer dual-action asthma and COPD control, reducing exacerbation rates and improving lung function.
