Mechanism of action
Salmeterol is a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (LABA) that binds to beta-2 receptors on airway smooth muscle, causing bronchodilation and improved airflow. Fluticasone is an inhaled corticosteroid that suppresses airway inflammation by binding to glucocorticoid receptors, reducing mucus production and airway edema. Together, they provide both acute bronchodilation and chronic anti-inflammatory effects for sustained asthma and COPD control.
