How Avessa Products work
Formoterol + Fluticasone Propionate is a combination of two medicines: Formoterol + Fluticasone Propionate1 and Formoterol + Fluticasone Propionate2. Formoterol + Fluticasone Propionate1 is a long-acting bronchodilator which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. Formoterol + Fluticasone Propionate2 is a steroid. It works by stopping the release of certain chemical messengers that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.
