What does it do?

Salmeterol xinafoate is a component belonging to the beta-2 adrenergic agonist class. It is primarily used to widen the airways to facilitate breathing in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

This component acts on the beta-2 receptors in the bronchi to relax the bronchial muscles. As a result, the airways widen, making breathing easier and alleviating symptoms such as coughing or shortness of breath.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Salmeterol xinafoate has a long duration of action, so it is effective even when used only twice daily. Unlike short-acting beta-2 agonists, it is suitable for symptom prevention and long-term management.
