Salmeterol is an internationally approved and used name of the medication used in a form of aerosol inhaler for asthma and obstructive lung disease. The preparation isn’t used to stop an acute suffocation but is used as a maintenance therapy to suppress the abnormal activity of the bronchi in a long-term daily therapy. The same substance is also used in the compound of composition medications along with Fluticasone.

The medication is a long-acting inhaler that dilates (expands) the lumen of the bronchi for up to twelve hours in people who suffer from the reversible bronchial obstruction.
