Indication Dosage

Salmeterol and Fluticasone Propionate is a combination medication used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults and children who are at least 4 years old. It contains two active ingredients, Salmeterol, which is a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA), and Fluticasone Propionate, which is a corticosteroid.

Salmeterol works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe, while Fluticasone Propionate reduces inflammation in the airways, which can improve breathing and prevent asthma or COPD symptoms from occurring.

Salmeterol and Fluticasone Propionate inhalation is usually prescribed for patients who require regular treatment for asthma or COPD symptoms and should not be used to treat acute symptoms of these conditions. It is important to use this medication only as directed by a healthcare provider and to follow the instructions on the inhaler device carefully.

Dosage:

For asthma in adults and children aged 12 years and older:

• One inhalation of 50 mcg of Salmeterol and 100 mcg of Fluticasone Propionate twice a day
• At least 12 hours between doses

For COPD in adults:

• One inhalation of 50 mcg of Salmeterol and 250 mcg of Fluticasone Propionate twice a day
