Advair Diskus Mechanism of Action  

Fluticasone propionate, a tri fluorinated corticosteroid, has been shown to inhibit multiple cell types and mediator production or secretion that are involved in the asthmatic response. It also exhibits potent anti-inflammatory activity. 

Salmeterol xinafoate, a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist, works by stimulating the enzyme responsible for the conversion of adenosine triphosphate to cyclic AMP. This causes the relaxation of smooth bronchial muscle and inhibition of the release of mediators involved in immediate hypersensitivity, especially mast cells.
