Advair Diskus is a drug manufactured to cope with diseases which attack bronchi and lungs. Medics prescribe it for people with COPD, pant, wheeze, dyspnea, pulmonary emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. It consists of two main components: a corticosteroid (Fluticasone) and a long-acting beta agonist (Salmeterol). The first component reduces the irritation and the swelling of lungs and bronchi. The second component makes the breathing easier. Doctors prescribe the drug for patients who need a combination treatment when one medication doesn’t work. The medicine is a part of a long-term medication as it isn’t effective in case of sudden asthma attacks.

• ADVAIR DISKUS combines the inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) medicine fluticasone propionate and the LABA medicine salmeterol.
• ICS medicines such as fluticasone propionate help to decrease inflammation in the lungs. Inflammation in the lungs can lead to breathing problems.
• LABA medicines such as salmeterol help the muscles around the airways in your lungs stay relaxed to prevent symptoms, such as wheezing, cough, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. These symptoms can happen when the muscles around the airways tighten. This makes it hard to breathe.
• It is not known if ADVAIR DISKUS is safe and effective in children younger than 4 years.
