Combitide 250 CFC Free Inhaler is a prescription combination inhaler marketed by Sun Pharma that contains Salmeterol 25mcg and Fluticasone Propionate 250mcg per metered dose. Salmeterol is a long acting bronchodilator that keeps the airways relaxed for about twelve hours, while Fluticasone is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces swelling and irritation in the lungs. Together they lower the number of attacks and ease wheezing, cough and chest tightness. Doctors prescribe it for regular maintenance treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, not for sudden relief. It is a CFC free formulation with a modern propellant that is gentler on the environment. Each canister provides 120 metered doses and is usually taken twice a day as directed. It is a Schedule H medicine and should be used only as advised by your doctor.
