This combination therapy effectively reduces airway inflammation, helps with bronchial dilation to facilitate breathing, and aids in reducing the frequency and severity of asthma symptoms. Thus, it is used to effectively control asthma symptoms and improve quality of life.

Patients with respiratory infections or atypical bronchospasm should consult a physician before taking this medication and seek immediate treatment if symptoms worsen. During the use of this medication, oral and throat candidiasis may occur, so it is important to rinse the mouth clean after inhalation. Prolonged high-dose use may result in systemic side effects of steroids; therefore, it is recommended to use the minimum effective dose when possible. Some patients may experience side effects such as tremors, headache, palpitations, so caution is necessary. Drug interactions may occur when taken with other medications, particularly in combinations with certain antifungals, antibiotics, or beta-blockers, so consulting with a doctor or pharmacist is essential. In cases of pregnancy or breastfeeding, the need for this medication should be carefully evaluated, and safety and efficacy have not been fully established in children and the elderly.
