HOW ESIFLO 250 TRANSCAP WORKS
ESIFLO
250 TRANSCAP is a combination of two medicines namely, fluticasone and
salbutamol. Fluticasone is an inhalation corticosteroid. It blocks the
release of certain chemical messengers in the airways (such as
prostaglandins, leukotrienes) that cause inflammation and swelling.
Salmeterol
is a bronchodilator. It relaxes the smooth muscles of the airways and
widens them. Collectively, they reduce airway inflammation, allows the
air to pass through more freely and makes breathing easier.
