Scientific Evidence

Pharmacological effects: Salmeterol is a long-acting beta agonist that works by relaxing the muscles in the airways to improve breathing. Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways.

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

Additional Information

Airtek should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. It does not work immediately and should not be used for sudden asthma attacks. Always carry a rescue inhaler for emergencies.

Consult your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations and to discuss the risks and benefits of using Airtek for your condition.
