What is Seroflo 125 Inhaler?
A combination inhaler containing Salmeterol (a long-acting bronchodilator) and Fluticasone Propionate (a corticosteroid). It helps open airways, reduces inflammation, and improves breathing in:
-
Asthma (prevents symptoms like wheezing & breathlessness)
-
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
Key Benefits
✔ COPD: Relieves chest tightness, coughing, and shortness of breath.
✔ Asthma: Prevents exercise-induced attacks and reduces triggers (e.g., pollen, dust).
How to Use
-
Shake well before use.
-
Inhale deeply while pressing the inhaler.
-
Hold breath for 10 seconds, then exhale.
-
Rinse mouth after use to prevent oral thrush (fungal infection).
⚠️ Important:
-
Not for sudden asthma attacks (use a “reliever” inhaler instead).
-
Use regularly, even if symptom-free.
Side Effects
Common (usually mild):
-
Cough, sore throat, hoarse voice
-
Headache, nausea, fungal mouth infections
-
Fast heartbeat, muscle/joint pain
Rare but serious: Consult a doctor if you experience:
-
Worsening breathing, vision problems, or mood changes.
