October 17, 2012 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

An Open Label, Multicentre Study to Evaluate Patient Satisfaction With Fluticasone/Salmeterol HFA MDI With Counter in Adult Subjects (18 Years of Age and Older) With Asthma or COPD.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the level of satisfaction experienced by asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients when using the Fluticasone/Salmeterol HFA Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) with counter, as compared to using Fluticasone/Salmeterol HFA MDI without counter.
