What Is Fluticasone/Salmeterol 250/50mcg?
Fluticasone/Salmeterol 250/50mcg (brand name Advair Diskus) is a prescription dry-powder inhaler that combines two medicines in one device. Fluticasone propionate is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces airway inflammation, and salmeterol is a long-acting beta-agonist that relaxes the muscles around the airways for up to 12 hours. Used together twice daily, they help keep airways open and improve breathing over time in people with asthma or COPD. It is a maintenance medication and is not intended to relieve sudden breathing problems.
