Salmeterol

Salmeterol is a medication used to help manage asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It belongs to a class called long-acting beta-agonists, which relax the muscles around the airways in your lungs. This relaxation keeps the airways open longer, making it easier to breathe and reducing symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath. Salmeterol is usually taken twice daily and is used regularly to prevent breathing problems. It is not intended for quick relief during an asthma attack. Always use it as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
