Product Introduction:
Asthace SR 200 mg Tablet SR is a sustained-release medication containing Salmeterol, a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) used in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This medication works by relaxing the muscles of the airways, which helps to open them up and make it easier to breathe. Unlike short-acting bronchodilators, Asthace SR provides prolonged relief, helping to prevent asthma attacks and manage chronic breathing problems effectively.
