Overview

A **combination inhaler** containing a **long-acting beta2-agonist** (LABA) and an **inhaled corticosteroid** (ICS) is used primarily for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)[1][2][5]. LABAs act on airway smooth muscle to produce bronchodilation, improving airflow and reducing symptoms, while ICS suppress airway inflammation and decrease exacerbation frequency. The two classes address complementary aspects of airway pathology—bronchodilation and inflammation control—and have additive or synergistic effects when used together. Common commercial combinations include **fluticasone/salmeterol** (Advair/Seretide) and **budesonide/formoterol** (Symbicort)[1][2][3].
