Description
Digihaler SF 250 Inhaler is a combination inhaler containing:
-
Salmeterol (25mcg): A long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA) that relaxes airway muscles to improve airflow and ease breathing.
-
Fluticasone Propionate (250mcg): An inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) that reduces airway inflammation, swelling, and mucus production.
