ADVAIR DISKUS (FLUTICASONE PROPRIONATE AND SALMETEROL INHALATION POWDER) INDICATIONS

Advair Diskus is a combination of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonists (LABA). It is indicated as a long-term treatment for patients with lung problems like asthma. In addition, this inhalation device is prescribed as a maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

Advair Diskus contains two active components that work hand in hand in controlling and preventing the constriction of your airways from certain lung conditions. Fluticasone propionate is a highly potent corticosteroid that has anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictive effects. After inhaling this medication, it inhibits the release of inflammatory cells and mediators to decrease airway irritation and improve lung functioning.

On the other hand, salmeterol is a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (LABA) that helps stimulate the beta-2 receptors in the smooth muscles of the lungs. As a result, the smooth muscles in the lungs are relaxed to allow you to breathe easier, relieving wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness associated with asthma and COPD.
