Question: 1 / 400

For what condition is Salmeterol used?

Acute asthma attacks

Hypertension

Maintenance treatment of asthma and COPD

Salmeterol is a long-acting beta-agonist medication that is primarily used for maintenance treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This means that it is used to prevent symptoms and improve lung function in patients with these conditions, rather than to treat acute exacerbations or attacks. Option A, acute asthma attacks, is incorrect because Salmeterol is not a fast-acting medication and is not meant to provide immediate relief during an attack. Option B, hypertension, is incorrect because Salmeterol is not used to treat this condition. Option D, immediate hypersensitivity reactions, is incorrect because Salmeterol does not treat allergies or allergic reactions.
