Saltica Inhalation Capsule combines Salmeterol 50 mcg and Fluticasone Propionate 100 mcg, offering a dual-action therapy 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 asthma or COPD exacerbations.

The capsules are intended for use with a dry powder inhaler (DPI), ensuring direct delivery to the lungs for effective and targeted treatment.
