Advair inhaler contains which combination?

Advair inhaler contains which combination?

• A. Fluticasone (ICS) and Salmeterol (LABA)
• B. Budesonide and Formoterol
• C. Albuterol and Ipratropium
• D. Fluticasone only

Answer: (A)

Advair is a combination inhaler that pairs an inhaled corticosteroid with a long-acting beta-2 agonist. The corticosteroid component, fluticasone, reduces airway inflammation over time, while the LABA component, salmeterol, provides prolonged bronchodilation to keep the airways open for many hours. This ICS/LABA combo improves lung function and helps prevent symptoms on a daily maintenance basis, rather than providing quick relief. Other options either mix a different ICS with a different LABA, use a SABA with an anticholinergic, or deliver an inhaled corticosteroid alone, none of which match Advair’s specific combination.
