SEROFLO ROTACAPS 100 offers a synergistic combination of Salmeterol, a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA), and Fluticasone Propionate, an inhaled corticosteroid. Salmeterol helps to keep the airways open by relaxing the muscles around them, while Fluticasone Propionate reduces inflammation, preventing the onset of asthma symptoms and COPD exacerbations. This product is ideal for patients who need consistent and effective control over their respiratory conditions.
