About Seroflo Inhaler 50 Mcg
Seroflo Inhaler 50 mcg is a combination medication containing fluticasone propionate and salmeterol, used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It helps open the airways, making breathing easier and relieving symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath.
Uses
Asthma: It is used as a maintenance therapy to prevent and manage asthma symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
COPD: It is also used for the long-term treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema, helping to reduce the frequency of flare-ups (exacerbations).
How It Works
The two ingredients work synergistically. Fluticasone reduces the underlying inflammation that makes airways sensitive to triggers, while salmeterol keeps the airways open for a prolonged period, making it easier to breathe.
Precautions
Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage and frequency. It is essential to use the inhaler regularly for maximum effectiveness, even when symptoms are not present.
Not intended for immediate relief of acute asthma attacks; a rescue inhaler should be used in such cases. Rinse your mouth after use to prevent fungal infections.
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Monitor for potential side effects, especially in older adults or those with pre-existing conditions.
