This is indicated in the regular treatment of asthma where use of a combination product (long-acting ß2-agonist and inhaled corticosteroid) is appropriate:
Â
- patients not adequately controlled with inhaled corticosteroids and ‘as needed’ inhaled short acting ß2-agonist or
- patients already adequately controlled on both inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting ß2-agonist.
Inhalation Powder in Capsule:
Treatment of asthma: Fluticasone Propionate & Salmeterol Xinafoate combination is indicated for the treatment of asthma in patients aged 4 years and older. It is indicated for patients not adequately controlled on a long-term asthma control medication, such as an inhaled corticosteroid or whose disease severity clearly warrants initiation of treatment with both an inhaled corticosteroid and LABA. Once asthma control is achieved and maintained, assess the patient at regular intervals and step down therapy if possible without loss of asthma control and maintain the patient on a long-term asthma control medication, such as an inhaled corticosteroid. It is not indicated for the relief of acute bronchospasm.Â
Maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Fluticasone Propionate & Salmeterol Xinafoate combination is indicated for the maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction and to reduce exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema.
