Description
🌬️ Salmeterol 50mcg + Fluticasone Propionate 500mcg Inhaler: Maximum Strength Control for Severe Asthma & Advanced COPD
Salmeterol 50mcg + Fluticasone Propionate 500mcg is a high-strength combination inhaler designed for patients with severe, persistent asthma or advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This dual-therapy inhaler is used as a long-term maintenance treatment to reduce airway inflammation, prevent exacerbations, and improve overall lung function.
🫁 Composition & Mechanism of Action
-
Salmeterol (50 mcg): A long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA) that works by relaxing the bronchial muscles. This allows the airways to remain open for extended periods, easing breathing and controlling symptoms such as wheezing and tightness in the chest.
-
Fluticasone Propionate (500 mcg): A potent corticosteroid that combats inflammation within the airways, reducing swelling and mucus production. It plays a crucial role in preventing asthma attacks and COPD flare-ups.
Together, they provide maximum therapeutic benefit by maintaining open airways and reducing inflammation in the lungs.
✅ Indications
-
Severe asthma in adults and adolescents (12 years and older) who require high-dose inhaled corticosteroids combined with a LABA.

Moderate to severe COPD with frequent symptoms and history of exacerbations.
