DESCRIPTION
SALMEFLO Salmeterol + Fluticasone is a combination inhaled medication containing a long acting beta 2 agonist (LABA) and a corticosteroid. Salmeterol helps relax airway muscles to keep airways open, while Fluticasone reduces inflammation in the lungs. This combination provides long term control and prevention of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms. It is intended for maintenance therapy, not for immediate relief of acute attacks.
