What is Advair Diskus Asthma Medication?

Advair Diskus is the first and only product approved by the FDA that combines an inhaled corticosteroid and an inhaled long-acting bronchodilator in one easy-to-use device. Advair Diskus does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms.

Advair Diskus effectively treats the two main components of asthma at the same time: constriction, the tightening of the muscles around the airways, and inflammation, the swelling and irritation of the airways. Constriction and inflammation cause the airways to narrow and reduce airflow into the lungs, which may result in symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, or shortness of breath.

The combination of fluticasone and salmeterol (Advair) is used to prevent wheezing, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties caused by asthma. Advair/Fluticasone is in a class of medications called steroids. Advair works by reducing swelling in the airways. Advair/Salmeterol is in a class of medications called long-acting beta-agonists. Advair works by relaxing and opening air passages in the lungs.
