Advair Diskus (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) is a prescription inhaler used to manage asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It combines two medicines: an inhaled corticosteroid to reduce airway inflammation, and a long-acting bronchodilator to keep the airways open. Taken regularly, it helps control breathing problems and reduce flare-ups.

How Advair helps patients with asthma and COPD

By reducing inflammation and relaxing the muscles around the airways, Advair Diskus improves airflow and helps patients breathe more easily. For people with asthma, this means fewer symptoms and attacks. For those with COPD, it lowers the risk of exacerbations and hospitalizations when used as part of ongoing treatment.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions and use Advair Diskus exactly as prescribed. To use this product:

• Open Advair Diskus
• Slide the lever away from the mouthpiece until it clicks. Keep Diskus level and flat.
• Fully exhale away from the Diskus, then put the mouthpiece to your lips and inhale deeply through your mouth.
• Hold your breath before exhaling.
• Close the Diskus until your next dose.
• Rinse your mouth after each use.
