How Airz F Digihaler 120 Mdi works

Fluticasone is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces airway inflammation, swelling and mucus production. Formoterol is a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) that relaxes airway smooth muscles to keep the airways open for longer. Together they improve breathing and reduce exacerbations when used regularly.
