SEROFLO 250 – 1 INHALER

Description

SEROFLO 250 INHALER combines two active ingredients: fluticasone propionate and salmeterol. Fluticasone is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the airways, which helps to prevent asthma and COPD symptoms. Salmeterol is a long-acting beta-agonist that works by relaxing the muscles around the airways, leading to improved airflow and easier breathing. This combination offers enhanced control of asthma and COPD symptoms and helps reduce the frequency and severity of respiratory issues.

Usage Instructions:
Preparation: Shake the inhaler well before use.
Inhalation: Breathe out fully, hold the inhaler upright, and place the mouthpiece between your lips.
Activation: Press down on the inhaler to release the medication while inhaling deeply and slowly.
Breathing: Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale slowly.
Cleaning: Clean the mouthpiece with a dry cloth to keep it free of residue.
Frequency: Use as prescribed by your healthcare provider, typically twice daily.

Medicinal Advantages:
Dual Action: Combines fluticasone and salmeterol for comprehensive asthma and COPD management.
Reduces Inflammation: Fluticasone decreases airway inflammation and swelling.
Improves Airflow: Salmeterol helps to relax airway muscles, enhancing breathing.

Mechanism of Action:
SEROFLO 250 INHALER delivers fluticasone propionate and salmeterol directly to the lungs. Fluticasone, an inhaled corticosteroid, binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the airway cells, reducing inflammation and preventing airway constriction. Salmeterol, a long-acting beta-agonist, stimulates beta-adrenergic receptors in the airway muscles, leading to relaxation and dilation of the airways. This combination helps to manage chronic respiratory conditions by addressing both inflammation and muscle constriction.

Off-Label Uses:
SEROFLO 250 INHALER is primarily used for asthma and COPD. Consult your healthcare provider for information on any potential off-label uses or other medical advice.
