Saltica Inhalation Capsule contains Salmeterol 50 mcg and Fluticasone Propionate 500 mcg, a dual-action therapy designed for the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

• Salmeterol is a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (LABA) that relaxes airway smooth muscles, providing extended bronchodilation to prevent bronchospasm.

• Fluticasone Propionate is an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) that reduces airway inflammation, swelling, and mucus production, helping to control chronic symptoms and prevent exacerbations.

Saltica inhalation capsules are intended for use with a dry powder inhaler (DPI), delivering medication directly to the lungs for fast, effective, and targeted relief.
