What is Serevent Diskus ?

Serevent Diskus (salmeterol xinafoate) is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) used for the treatment and prevention of bronchospasm in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, thereby improving breathing. Serevent Diskus is usually prescribed as part of a comprehensive asthma or COPD management plan and should not be used as a rescue medication for acute symptoms.
