WHAT AIREXAR SPIROMAX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Airexar Spiromax contains two medicines, salmeterol and fluticasone
propionate:
Salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator. Bronchodilators help the
airways in the lungs to stay open.
This makes it easier for air to get in and out. The effects last for
at least 12 hours.
Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid which reduces swelling and
irritation in the lungs.
Your doctor has prescribed this medicine for the treatment of either
Severe asthma, to help prevent attacks of breathlessness and
wheeziness,
or
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), to reduce the number of
flare ups of symptoms.
You must use Airexar Spiromax every day as directed by your doctor.
This will make sure that it works
properly in controlling your asthma or COPD.
AIREXAR SPIROMAX HELPS TO STOP BREATHLESSNESS AND WHEEZINESS COMING
ON. HOWEVER, AIREXAR SPIROMAX
SHOULD NOT BE USED TO RELIEVE AN ATTACK OF BREATHLESSNESS OR WHEEZING.
IF THIS HAPPENS YOU NEED TO USE A
