 Advair Diskus
250 mcg
Asthma is a long-term condition affecting the lungs. Symptoms of asthma include shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, and cough. Two main causes of asthma symptoms are bronchoconstriction (tightening of the muscles surrounding the airways) and inflammation (swelling and irritation of the airways).
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) associated with chronic bronchitis is a long-term, progressively worsening condition that restricts airflow into and out of the lungs. The main cause of COPD is exposure to lung irritants, including tobacco smoke and airborne pollutants, which may lead to bronchoconstriction, inflammation, and lung tissue damage.
ADVAIR DISKUS contains 2 medicines, fluticasone propionate (a synthetic corticosteroid) and salmeterol xinafoate (a long-acting bronchodilator), which work in different ways in the lungs to improve lung function and symptoms in patients with asthma. Fluticasone propionate is used to reduce the airway inflammation and salmeterol, a long-acting bronchodilator, helps prevent and relieve bronchospasm, making it easier to breathe. Fluticasone propionate and salmeterol in ADVAIR DISKUS work together to improve lung function in patients with COPD associated with chronic bronchitis. Advair inhalation is used to prevent asthma attacks. It is used only to prevent asthma attacks, not to treat an attack already in progress. It will not work fast enough to give relief during an attack.
