Asthma: For patients not adequately controlled with inhaled corticosteroids plus “as-needed” short-acting β2-agonist, or those already controlled on both inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting β2-agonist.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): To improve lung function and reduce exacerbations.
Use only under a registered doctor’s advice.
Salmeterol Xinafoate: Selective long-acting β2-adrenoceptor agonist (12-hour effect). Relaxes airway muscles and prevents asthma/COPD symptoms.

Combination effect: Salmeterol prevents symptoms, while Fluticasone improves lung function and prevents flare-ups.
