Scientific Evidence:
Studies have shown that the combination of salmeterol and fluticasone propionate in Airtek aerosol provides superior asthma control compared to either component alone. The long-acting beta agonist (salmeterol) works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, while the corticosteroid (fluticasone propionate) reduces inflammation, resulting in improved lung function and symptom control.

- It is important to use this medication regularly as prescribed, even if you feel well, to maintain optimal treatment outcomes.
- Always carry a rescue inhaler with you for sudden asthma attacks despite using Airtek aerosol.
