About This Medication

# Teva Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get AirDuo RespiClick at Low or No Cost AirDuo RespiClick (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) is a prescription inhaler used to control and prevent symptoms of asthma in adults and children 12 years and older. This **patient-friendly guide** explains how to apply for free medication through the **Teva Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program** from Teva Pharmaceuticals, helping eligible patients overcome cost barriers. ## About AirDuo RespiClick **AirDuo RespiClick** combines an inhaled corticosteroid (fluticasone propionate) to reduce inflammation and a long-acting beta agonist (salmeterol) to relax airway muscles, providing twice-daily maintenance therapy for asthma. It's breath-actuated, requiring no priming, and comes in strengths like 55/14 mcg, 113/14 mcg, and 232/14 mcg. Always use as prescribed by your doctor—it's not for sudden asthma attacks; keep a rescue inhaler handy. Common side effects include throat irritation, hoarseness, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Discuss risks like thrush or rare serious effects with your healthcare provider. ## Who Qualifies for the Program?
