Introduction

Salmeterol is a long standing beta adrenergic bronchodilator, which works by opening up the airway and improving the ability to breathe. The other active component is Fluticasone, which is a corticosteroid that acts by reducing the irritation and swelling of the airway.

Use

This medication is indicated in the treatment and control of symptoms like wheezing or shortness of breath due to recurrent episodes of asthma or continuing lung disease like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, bronchitis, etc. Fluticasone is a corticosteroid which reduces the mediators of inflammation like cytokines, histamine, etc., and thereby helps control the constriction of the air passage. Salmeterol is known to stimulate the intracellular adenyl cyclase which catalyses the conversion of adenosine tri phosphate to adenosine mono phosphate. Adenosine mono phosphate helps widen the airway and thereby improves breathing.

Dosage and administration

Take this medication exactly as directed by the doctor and follow all the instructions properly. Use of this drug is indicated only if other initial medicines have not proven to be effective. The recommendation for patients aged 12 years and more is that the usual dose is two inhalations a day (with 12 hours difference between doses). Rinse the mouth after each use of the rotahaler so as to prevent thrush and oral irritation. It may take 1 week or longer to notice results from using the medication. Until then, it is advised not to alter the dose or to stop taking the medication without consulting the doctor.
