Summary
Mistovate®-S 250 is a maintenance treatment designed for the long-term control of symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It pairs a long-acting bronchodilator (Salmeterol), which relaxes muscles in the airways to keep them open, with a powerful anti-inflammatory corticosteroid (Fluticasone Propionate), which reduces swelling and inflammation. This synergistic combination provides stable, 24-hour symptom control when used daily.
