Salmeterol + Fluticasone propionate

Salmeterol + Fluticasone propionate

What is Salmeterol + Fluticasone propionate? My Doctor prescribed me this inhaler and he said its for anti asthma. What's the difference of this inhaler to Salbutamol? Does this have higher dosage or something?

The fluticasone is a corticosteriod that helps with the inflammation in the lungs.  The salmeterol is a long acting bronchodilator.

I've used advair for a couple of months now, defintely helps :)
