Description

R/C AIRFLOW 500 is a highly effective combination inhalation therapy formulated with Salmeterol (50 mcg) and Fluticasone (500 mcg). This dual-action inhaler is designed to manage and control the symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Salmeterol is a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) that helps relax the muscles in the airways, allowing air to move in and out of the lungs more freely. Fluticasone, an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), works by reducing inflammation, swelling, and mucus production in the airways. Together, these two ingredients provide comprehensive and long-lasting respiratory relief, helping patients breathe easier and maintain better lung function.

This inhaler is used as a maintenance therapy and is not intended for immediate relief during acute asthma or bronchospasm attacks.
