Salmeterol

About Salmeterol

Salmeterol is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as long-acting beta agonists. It contains the active ingredient salmeterol xinafoate, which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier for you to breathe. This medication is suitable for individuals with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to help manage and prevent symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.

Dosage and usage

You should use salmeterol exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The typical dosage is usually 1 inhalation (50 mcg) twice a day, with at least 12 hours between doses. Do not exceed the recommended dose, and do not use it more frequently than prescribed. Salmeterol is a long-term maintenance treatment and should not be used for sudden asthma attacks. If you experience worsening symptoms or if your rescue inhaler becomes less effective, contact your doctor immediately.
