SEROFLO JUNIOR – 1 INHALER

Description

SEROFLO JUNIOR INHALER is a combination inhaler that helps manage asthma and COPD in children:

Fluticasone Propionate: A corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the airways.
Salmeterol Xinafoate: A long-acting beta agonist that helps relax airway muscles and improve airflow.
Together, these ingredients provide effective symptom control and prevent flare-ups, ensuring better respiratory health and comfort for children with asthma or COPD.

Usage Instructions:
Preparation: Shake the inhaler well before use.
Inhalation: Exhale completely, hold the inhaler upright, and place the mouthpiece between your child’s lips.
Activation: Press down on the inhaler to release the medication while your child inhales deeply and slowly.
Breathing: Have your child hold their breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale slowly.
Cleaning: Clean the mouthpiece with a dry cloth after each use.
Frequency: Use as directed by a healthcare provider, typically twice daily.

Medicinal Advantages:
Reduces Inflammation: Fluticasone decreases airway inflammation and swelling.
Relaxes Airways: Salmeterol helps to relax and open the airways for easier breathing.
Improves Control: Regular use helps manage symptoms and prevent exacerbations of asthma and COPD.

Mechanism of Action:
SEROFLO JUNIOR INHALER combines two mechanisms to provide effective asthma and COPD management:
Fluticasone Propionate: This corticosteroid reduces inflammation in the airways by inhibiting the release of inflammatory substances and reducing immune cell activity. This decreases swelling and mucus production.
Salmeterol Xinafoate: As a long-acting beta agonist, it activates beta-2 adrenergic receptors in airway smooth muscles, leading to muscle relaxation and bronchodilation. This improves airflow and eases breathing.

Off-Label Uses:
SEROFLO JUNIOR INHALER is primarily used for managing asthma and COPD in children. Consult a healthcare provider for any potential off-label uses or additional guidance.
