Hello,
As you were told it is prescribed for asthma or other chronic lung conditions. It contains two medications, fluticasone and salmeterol which reduce irritation and swelling and open up the airways.
As for whether it is the correct treatment for you it is hard to say since for the moment you provide no info regarding your symptoms and tests you've had.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Olsi Taka, Neurologist
