salmeterol and fluticasone propionate inhalation

Breathing difficulties caused by chronic conditions like asthma or COPD can significantly affect your daily life. One of the most trusted combinations for long-term respiratory management is salmeterol and fluticasone propionate inhalation. If you're prescribed this therapy, it's essential to understand how it works, how to use it correctly, and what benefits you can expect.

Introducing R/C AIRFLOW 100 – a powerful formulation containing salmeterol and fluticasone propionate, available in capsule form for inhalation. Designed for use with the STERIS DPI Device, a user-friendly dry powder inhaler, this treatment ensures targeted delivery of medication deep into your lungs for fast and effective relief.

What is Salmeterol and Fluticasone Propionate Inhalation?

Salmeterol and fluticasone propionate inhalation is a combination therapy used to manage and prevent symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

  • Salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that helps relax the airway muscles, making it easier to breathe.

  • Fluticasone propionate is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs, preventing flare-ups and wheezing.

Together, they offer both immediate relief and long-term control, making them highly effective for patients who experience frequent asthma attacks or persistent COPD symptoms.

How R/C AIRFLOW 100 Helps

R/C AIRFLOW 100, powered by salmeterol and fluticasone propionate, provides a dual-action approach:

  • Opens up the airways quickly by relaxing the bronchial muscles

  • Reduces inflammation in the airways for long-term control

  • Helps manage symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, and tightness in the chest

  • Minimizes the risk of asthma attacks and sudden flare-ups

  • Suitable for maintenance therapy when used regularly

These inhalation capsules are specifically designed to be used with the STERIS DPI Device – a dry powder inhaler that ensures effective dispersion of the medicine into your lungs.

How to Use R/C AIRFLOW 100 with Steris DPI Device
