What does it do?

Fluticasone propionate is a drug in the inhaled corticosteroid class, primarily used for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is aimed at suppressing inflammation to improve respiratory symptoms.

This ingredient inhibits the activity of inflammatory cells in the bronchi, thereby reducing the inflammatory response. As a result, the bronchi become less constricted and breathing becomes easier.
