Conditions treated by fluticasone-salmeterol

How does fluticasone-salmeterol work?

Fluticasone-salmeterol combines two different types of medications: an inhaled corticosteroid (fluticasone) and a long-acting beta-agonist (salmeterol). Fluticasone reduces inflammation in the airways, while salmeterol relaxes the muscles in the airways, allowing for better airflow.

Forms of fluticasone-salmeterol available

Fluticasone-salmeterol is available as an inhalation powder and an inhalation aerosol.

Dosage of fluticasone-salmeterol

The dosage of fluticasone-salmeterol may vary depending on the specific condition being treated, the severity of symptoms, and individual patient factors. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage instructions provided by the healthcare provider.

If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose. Use your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up.

Directions for fluticasone-salmeterol use

Fluticasone-salmeterol should be used exactly as directed by the healthcare provider. It is typically used on a regular basis to prevent symptoms and should not be used for acute asthma attacks.
Keep this medicine at room temperature. Protect from moisture and high humidity.

Warnings and precautions for fluticasone-salmeterol

  • Fluticasone-salmeterol should not be used as a rescue medication for sudden breathing problems
  • Patients should not be started on salmeterol/fluticasone propionate during an exacerbation, or if they have significantly worsening or acutely deteriorating asthma
  • Fluticasone and salmeterol may increase the risk that you will develop glaucoma or cataracts. You will probably need to have regular eye exams during your treatment with fluticasone and salmeterol
  • Fluticasone and salmeterol may increase your risk of developing osteoporosis. Talk to your doctor about the risks of using this medication
  • Your doctor may have you monitor your lung function while you take this drug. You may be asked to record your symptoms or monitor how well your lungs are working
  • Call your healthcare provider if you have an increase in blood pressure, fast or irregular heartbeat or chest pain
  • It may increase the risk of asthma-related death, particularly in patients with severe asthma

Drug interactions

Here are some possible interactions of fluticasone-salmeterol with other medications:

  • Beta-blockers: Fluticasone-salmeterol contains salmeterol, which is a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA). It should not be used in combination with non-selective beta-blockers such as propranolol, as they can counteract each other’s effects and potentially lead to severe bronchospasm
  • Antifungal medications: Certain antifungal drugs like ketoconazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole can increase the levels of fluticasone-salmeterol in the body. This can potentially lead to an increased risk of side effects. It is important to inform your healthcare provider if you are taking any antifungal medications
  • HIV medications: Some antiretroviral medications used to treat HIV, such as ritonavir or cobicistat, can also increase the levels of fluticasone-salmeterol in the body. This can increase the risk of side effects. It is crucial to inform your healthcare provider if you are taking any HIV medications
  • Other inhaled medications: Combining fluticasone-salmeterol with other inhaled medications that contain similar ingredients, such as other long-acting beta-agonists or corticosteroids, may increase the risk of side effects. It is important to inform your healthcare provider if you are using any other inhalers or respiratory medications
  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs): Fluticasone-salmeterol should not be used in combination with MAOIs, as it can increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects such as increased heart rate or high blood pressure. It is important to inform your healthcare provider if you are taking any MAOIs
  • Diuretics: Fluticasone-salmeterol may interact with certain diuretics, such as loop diuretics like furosemide, causing electrolyte imbalances or changes in potassium levels. Your healthcare provider should monitor your electrolyte levels if you are taking diuretics while using fluticasone-salmeterol

Tell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking.

Use of fluticasone-salmeterol during pregnancy

Fluticasone-salmeterol should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks. Consultation with a healthcare provider is necessary to discuss the specific situation.

Use of fluticasone-salmeterol while breastfeeding

Fluticasone-salmeterol can pass into breast milk, but the amount is likely to be low. Consultation with a healthcare provider is necessary to discuss the specific situation.

Possible side effects of fluticasone-salmeterol

Here are some of the common side effects associated with fluticasone-salmeterol:

  • Thrush: One of the most common side effects of fluticasone-salmeterol is oral thrush, which is a fungal infection in the mouth. This occurs when the steroid component of the medication suppresses the immune system, allowing the fungus to overgrow. Rinsing the mouth with water after each use can help prevent thrush
  • Hoarseness, sore throat, dry mouth or voice changes: Some individuals may experience hoarseness or changes in their voice while using fluticasone-salmeterol. This is due to the steroid component of the medication affecting the vocal cords. It is usually temporary and resolves after discontinuing the medication
  • Headache: Headaches can occur as a side effect of fluticasone-salmeterol. If the headaches persist or become severe, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional
  • Cough or throat irritation: The use of fluticasone-salmeterol may cause a cough or throat irritation in some individuals. This is usually temporary and can be managed by drinking plenty of fluids and using throat lozenges

Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions, worsening asthma symptoms, and increased risk of pneumonia.

Similar drugs to fluticasone-salmeterol

Other combination inhalers used to treat asthma and COPD include budesonide-formoterol, fluticasone-vilanterol, and mometasone-formoterol.
