Maxiflo 100 Rotacap

What is Maxiflo 100 Rotacap?

Maxiflo 100 Rotacap is a combination inhaler used to treat:

• Asthma (wheezing & shortness of breath)

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (a lung disorder where airflow is blocked)

It contains Formoterol (a bronchodilator) and Fluticasone Propionate (a steroid) to relax airway muscles and reduce inflammation, making breathing easier.

Key Benefits

✔ Relieves COPD symptoms (breathing difficulty, wheezing, chest tightness, coughing)
✔ Long-term asthma control (must be used regularly)
✔ Improves daily activities by keeping airways open

How to Use

• Do NOT swallow the capsule.

• Place the capsule in the rotahaler (not the mouthpiece).

• Twist the mouthpiece until it clicks.

• Inhale deeply, hold breath for 10 seconds.

• Repeat if powder remains.

Important Instructions

• Not for sudden asthma attacks (use a quick-relief inhaler instead).

• Use regularly, even if symptoms improve.

• Rinse mouth after use to prevent throat irritation.

• Do not stop abruptly without doctor’s advice.

Side Effects (Common but Manageable)

• Headache, cough, throat irritation

• Upper respiratory infections, hoarse voice

• Tremors, palpitations, muscle pain

If severe or persistent, consult your doctor.

Safety Warnings

• ❌ Avoid alcohol (unsafe interaction).

• ⚠️ Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult doctor (may not be safe).

• Kidney/Liver disease: Inform doctor before use.

• No driving restrictions.

How It Works

• Formoterol → Relaxes airway muscles → widens airways.

• Fluticasone → Reduces swelling → prevents inflammation.

Final Advice

✅ Use as prescribed for best results.
✅ Avoid triggers (smoking, allergens).
✅ Follow inhaler technique correctly (or it may not work well).

Always consult your doctor for personalized advice.
