Overview

FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE/SALMETEROL    What is fluticasone/salmeterol (Advair). Fluticasone/salmeterol is a class of medications used to treat inflammatory respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains a corticosteroid, fluticasone, which reduces inflammation, and a long-acting bronchodilator, salmeterol, which opens the airways.    How can fluticasone/salmeterol be used to treat long-COVID. Patients with long-COVID have symptoms such as chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, and exercise intolerance. Due to fluticasone/salmeterol’s mechanism of action in opening the airways, those suffering from breathing issues from long-COVID may be positively impacted. Although no formal studies have been conducted to determine how effective this treatment is, patients have reported positive results [1].
