Seretide is a fixed-dose inhaler containing which combination of medications?

• A. It combines a beta-agonist and an anticholinergic
• B. It contains an inhaled corticosteroid and a long-acting beta-agonist
• C. It only contains a corticosteroid
• D. It only contains a LABA

Answer: (B)

This question tests knowledge of combination inhalers that pair an anti-inflammatory with a bronchodilator. Seretide contains an inhaled corticosteroid and a long-acting beta-agonist. The corticosteroid reduces airway inflammation, while the LABA provides sustained bronchodilation to keep airways open and improve symptom control. Together they offer better control and fewer exacerbations than either component alone. It is not just a corticosteroid, not just a LABA, and not a beta-agonist with an anticholinergic.
