Salmeterol
UNII 6EW8Q962A5 - SALMETEROL XINAFOATE
|
|
Salmeterol is a selective long-acting (12 hour) β2 adrenoceptor agonist. These pharmacological properties of salmeterol offer more effective protection against histamine-induced bronchoconstriction and produce a longer duration of bronchodilation, lasting for at least 12 hours, than recommended doses of conventional short-acting β2 agonists. |

2
Fluticasone
UNII O2GMZ0LF5W - FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE
|
|
Fluticasone has anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictive features. Fluticasone given by inhalation at recommended doses has a potent glucocorticoid anti-inflammatory action within the lungs, resulting in a reduction of both symptoms and exacerbations of asthma, with a lower incidence and severity of adverse effects than those observed when corticosteroids are administered systemically. |
