What Is Maxiflo Inhaler 250 Mcg?
Maxiflo Inhaler 250 mcg is a combination medication primarily used for the long-term management of asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
This is a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA). Formoterol helps to relax the muscles around the airways, making them wider and easier for air to pass through.
Uses
The regular maintenance treatment of asthma in adults and children (typically 12 years and above, depending on specific product guidelines). It helps to prevent symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
Key Ingredients
Maxiflo Inhaler 250 mcg contains two active ingredients:
Fluticasone Propionate (250 mcg): This is an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). It works by reducing inflammation and swelling in the airways, which helps to prevent and control respiratory symptoms.
Formoterol (6 mcg): This is a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA). Formoterol helps to relax the muscles around the airways, making them wider and easier for air to pass through.

How it Works
Fluticasone reduces the inflammation in the airways, preventing the underlying cause of breathing difficulties. Formoterol opens up the airways, providing relief from symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
This combined action helps to control symptoms, improve lung function, and reduce the frequency of exacerbations (flare-ups) in patients with asthma and COPD.
