Description
Seretide 500 Diskus contains a combination of fluticasone propionate (a corticosteroid) and salmeterol (a long-acting beta2-agonist). It is used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Fluticasone reduces inflammation in the lungs, while salmeterol relaxes the airways, making breathing easier. This inhaler is designed for regular, preventive use and is not intended for the relief of sudden breathing difficulties. It is crucial to use this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
