Advair inhaler contains which combination?

• A. Fluticasone (ICS) and Salmeterol (LABA)
• B. Budesonide and Formoterol
• C. Albuterol and Ipratropium
• D. Fluticasone only

Answer: (A)

Advair is a fixed combination inhaler that pairs an inhaled corticosteroid with a long-acting beta-agonist. The corticosteroid component, fluticasone, reduces airway inflammation, while the LABA component, salmeterol, provides prolonged bronchodilation by relaxing bronchial smooth muscle. This combination is used for maintenance control in persistent asthma or COPD, not for quick relief of symptoms. Other listed options mix different drugs (such as a different ICS/LABA combo, a SABA with an anticholinergic, or an ICS alone), so the correct pairing for Advair is fluticasone and salmeterol.
