Mechanism of action
Salmeterol activates beta-2 adrenergic receptors on airway smooth muscle, causing bronchodilation and lasting 12 hours. Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid that binds glucocorticoid receptors to suppress inflammatory cytokine production and reduce airway edema and mucus secretion. Together, they provide both acute symptom relief and long-term anti-inflammatory control.
