What is Advair Diskus?
Advair Diskus combines two active ingredients: fluticasone propionate and salmeterol. Fluticasone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation in the airways. Salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that helps relax airway muscles. Together, these ingredients help manage asthma and COPD symptoms when used as prescribed.
Advair Diskus comes as a dry powder inhaler and is taken by oral inhalation.
