Easyhaler ® dry powder inhaler (DPI) containing salmeterol and fluticasone propionate was developed for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Three different Salmeterol/fluticasone Easyhaler test products (Orion Pharma, Finland) were compared against the reference product Seretide ® Diskus ® DPI (GlaxoSmithKline, United Kingdom) to study whether any of the test products are bioequivalent with the reference.
