How Does It Work?
Fluticasone belongs to a class called as steroids. It helps to reduce the swelling and inflammation in the lungs and produces few side effects. Formoterol acts locally to dilate the smaller airways in the lungs into which the air passes after it has been inhaled. The airways then allow easy passage of air and help prevent breathing difficulties....
