Wixela, a combination of fluticasone and salmeterol, can have long-term side effects primarily related to its components. Prolonged use may lead to potential side effects such as adrenal suppression, increased risk of infections, osteoporosis, and cataracts due to the corticosteroid component, fluticasone. The long-acting beta-agonist, salmeterol, may increase the risk of asthma-related complications if not used with an inhaled corticosteroid. It is important for patients to discuss risks and benefits with their healthcare provider.
