What is Salmeterol?
Salmeterol is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing muscles in the airways to improve breathing.
Salmeterol inhalation is used to prevent asthma attacks but will not, however, treat an attack that has already begun. This medicine is also used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
