Round Purple Inhaler (Salmeterol/Fluticasone)

Asthma and COPD are two different diseases, and one needs to understand both to better get an idea about the round purple inhaler and the way it treats these diseases.

Asthma:

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways that leads to symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, and shortness of breath. These symptoms can vary in intensity and are often triggered by allergens, exercise, or irritants. Asthma is typically reversible with proper treatment and management.

General users recognize it as a round purple inhaler, as it has that color; it is easy for even a layperson to identify the inhaler. Besides that, it has a simplistic design, and it is a very easy-to-use device, which has made it popular. When the question arises of its efficacy, the millions of prescriptions generated all year round speak for the round purple inhaler. With two core elements, Salmeterol and Fluticasone, its operations and working after the intake of each puff are what make it stand out. 

The person who is prescribed the round purple inhaler must know how to use it properly. It might look difficult and confusing, but it is not at all, as companies spend huge amounts of time and money to design a device that is easy to use for all age groups. It comes in round as well as traditional shapes.
