Fluticasone and Salmeterol (Inhalation-Local)
Brand name(s): isk
Description
Fluticasone (floo-TIK-a-sone) and salmeterol (sal-ME-te-role) is a combination of two medicines that are used to help control the symptoms of asthma and improve lung function. However, this medicine will not relieve an asthma attack that has already started.
Inhaled fluticasone belongs to the family of medicines known as corticosteroids (cortisone-like medicines). It works by preventing certain cells in the lungs and breathing passages from releasing substances that cause asthma symptoms. It will not relieve an asthma attack that has already started.
Inhaled salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator and it belongs to the family of medicines known as bronchodilators. Bronchodilators are medicines that are breathed in through the mouth to open up the bronchial tubes (air passages) of the lungs. Salmeterol is different than other bronchodilators because it does not act quickly enough to relieve an asthma attack that has already started.
This medicine must be used with a short-acting beta 2 agonist (e.g. albuterol) for the treatment of an asthma attack or asthma symptoms that need immediate attention.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage form:
- Inhalation aerosol (Canada)
- Inhalation powder (U.S. and Canada)

Can fluticasone make me tired???
Hello,
Since past wednesday they put me on Fluticasone because i have pressure on my tube of Eustacius.
But since then i am very very very tired and feel even more weird then normal (i have chronic hyperventilation, also called panic disorder).
Can the fluticasone cause this, maybe in combination with the fluvoxamine i am on?
Will these side effects go away after a little while??
Thanks

Production of Trazadone
See answer above. That is how I arrived at this board. But I don't get it. This might not be the manufacturer? Perhaps we need to research Pharmaceutical World or trazodone + .com.
Trazodone is the generic name for desyrel.
I think the drug is so old that whoever manufactured desyrel doesn't anymore as I did enter desyrel + .com and came up with nothing using MSN search. Hmm......
But do check out this cool link which I found here (!) too regarding all generic drugs:

What does the pill look like?
I've been taking Lisinopril 10 mg that was purchased from my mail order pharmacy. It was an oval, pink colored pill.
I had to get a supply from local pharmacy. Of course it's Sunday and the pharmacy is closed. I opened the bottle and it contains a small round yellow pill with the markings L P P 10 on it.
Does this drug come in different shapes and colors?
