Scientific Evidence

Pharmacological effects: Salmeterol is a long-acting beta agonist that works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making breathing easier. Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs. The combination of these two medications provides both bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory effects, improving asthma control.

Clinical trials: Studies have shown that the combination of salmeterol and fluticasone propionate in Airtek is effective in improving lung function, reducing asthma symptoms, and decreasing the frequency of asthma exacerbations when compared to either medication alone.
