RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Feb. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK) is reviewing label changes proposed today by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for asthma medications containing long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs), such as GSK's Advair (salmeterol / fluticasone propionate). GSK and makers of the other affected medicines containing LABAs have 30 days to agree with the proposed changes or state why they are not warranted.

"We will work with FDA to ensure that the final label for these products protects the interest of patients who suffer with this chronic and serious disease," said Dr. Katharine Knobil, vice president for respiratory clinical research at GSK. "It is important that doctors have flexibility to make the proper clinical decisions to help patients gain and maintain optimal control of their asthma."
