What is Fluticasone-Salmeterol ?

Advair HFA (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) is a combination inhaler used in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains fluticasone, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, and salmeterol, a long-acting beta-agonist that relaxes airway muscles to enhance breathing. Advair HFA is typically prescribed for patients who need regular treatment to control their respiratory symptoms and is administered through a metered-dose inhaler.
