I agree with stone - little confused here..
Here's the reference on wikipedia with a pretty moving picture of the chemical elements of Fluticasone en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluti...
And this is for Formoterol en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formo...
Hope that may help in describing what they are.
I thought like others that Spiriva was the trade name for Tiotropium . Spiriva being the powdered form.
Yes, I have been on Spiriva for a few years now and it's always down as tiotropium on my script but has Spiriva on the med itself.
Tiotropium is a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways and increases air flow to the lungs.
