INTRODUCTION ABOUT SEROFLO 250 INHALER
SEROFLO
250 INHALER is a combination of Fluticasone and Salmeterol which
belongs to the group of medicines called Corticosteroids and
Bronchodilators respectively. It is used to manage asthma and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It also helps in reducing the
flare-ups of COPD symptoms.
Asthma is a long-term respiratory
disease in which your airways become inflamed, swollen and narrowed. It
also causes excessive mucous secretion in the airways which makes it
difficult for the air to pass through, leading to unpleasant symptoms
like wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chest pain and/or cough.
COPD
is a lung disease characterized by chronic lung inflammation and
obstructed air flow within the airways. It causes wheezing, breathing
difficulties, cough with mucus production and chest pain.
Use
SEROFLO 250 INHALER every day until your doctor tells you to stop. It is
meant for inhalation use only, and therefore do not the swallow the

without consulting your doctor. It is suitable for use both in adults
and in adolescents (aged 12 years or above).
SEROFLO 250 INHALER

breathing problems). Instead contact your doctor or use a fast-acting
‘rescue’ inhaler containing salbutamol to subside the symptoms.

infections, liver problems or heart problems. You must also inform your

HOW SEROFLO 250 INHALER WORKS
SEROFLO
250 INHALER is a combination of two medicines namely, fluticasone and
salbutamol. Fluticasone is an inhalation corticosteroid. It blocks the
release of certain chemical messengers in the airways (such as
prostaglandins, leukotrienes) that cause inflammation and swelling.
Salmeterol
is a bronchodilator. It relaxes the smooth muscles of the airways and
widens them. Collectively, they reduce airway inflammation, allows the
air to pass through more freely and makes breathing easier.
