Research Notes on Fluticasone and Salmeterol Dosage
There is no standard dosing regimen for fluticasone and salmeterol, as the dosage is dependent on the needs of the patient. In most cases, adults with asthma or COPD are recommended to use one inhalation twice a day. Though this medication can be used in children younger than four years of age, the dosage will be recommended by the physician and care should be taken to ensure only the recommended dosage is given.1
