  • A patient with multiple AEs with the same preferred term is counted only once for that preferred term. Only AEs reported while on study drug or within 7 days of the last dose (within 30 days for SAEs) are included.

  • AE, adverse event; FLU/SAL, fluticasone propionate/salmeterol xinafoate; MF/IND, mometasone furoate/indacaterol acetate; n, number of patients; SAE, serious adverse event.
