How Fluticasone + Salmeterol works

Salmeterol falls under the long-acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist category. It relaxes the airway muscles and expands the airways. Fluticasone propionate is a synthetic glucocorticoid category. It acts by preventing the production of specific chemical messengers that cause airway inflammation (swelling). Together, they help to improve better breathing.

Expert Advice

Fluticasone + Salmeterol is a combination inhaler containing two medications for the long-term treatment of asthma and COPD symptoms. Fluticasone + Salmeterol cannot provide relief from acute symptoms. Always ensure you have an inhaler in case your symptoms worsen. If your breathing difficulty persists or worsens, or if the rescue inhaler does not help, you should immediately consult a doctor. Do not stop taking Fluticasone + Salmeterol medication unless your doctor prescribes you to. After using Fluticasone + Salmeterol, you should gargle with water to clear your mouth and throat of any bacteria that might cause infection. Fluticasone + Salmeterol medication is only for inhalation. It is important to remember that the tablet should not be consumed. The combination of Fluticasone + Salmeterol is best taken at the same time every day. You may experience a dry mouth as a side effect. Mouth rinses regularly, practising proper dental hygiene, drinking more water, and candies without sugar might be beneficial. If you experience wheezing or airway constriction (bronchospasm) after taking your first dosage of Fluticasone + Salmeterol, consult your doctor immediately. Your blood potassium level may be monitored regularly by your doctor because of a low oxygen level in the blood (hypoxia) and certain medications, like Fluticasone + Salmeterol, may cause a drop in blood potassium level. After inhalation, there is a possibility that only minute quantities of Fluticasone + Salmeterol will be absorbed into circulation. Therefore, the risk of experiencing serious adverse effects is minimal. You should always have your inhaler with you.
