Seretide Accuhaler 50mcg/250mcg Inhaler 1 contains two active ingredients:

• Fluticasone propionate (250 mcg): This is a synthetic corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation in the airways. It suppresses the release of inflammatory substances from cells in your lungs, decreasing swelling, mucus production, and sensitivity of the airways.

• Salmeterol (50 mcg): This is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) that relaxes the muscles surrounding your airways. It stimulates specific receptors called beta2-receptors on airway muscle cells, causing them to relax and allowing the airways to open wider for easier breathing.
