Seroflo 500 Ciphaler

Combination of Salmeterol (bronchodilator) + Fluticasone Propionate (steroid)

Uses

• Asthma: Prevents symptoms (wheezing, breathlessness) and reduces airway inflammation.

• COPD: Improves airflow by relaxing airway muscles and reducing swelling.

Key Benefits

• Long-term control of asthma/COPD symptoms.

• Prevents exercise-induced asthma triggers (e.g., pollen, smoke).

• Enhances daily activity tolerance.

How to Use

1. Shake well before use.

2. Inhale 1 puff while breathing in deeply. Hold breath for 10 seconds.

3. Rinse mouth after use to avoid oral thrush (fungal infection).

4. Do not stop abruptly—even if symptoms improve.

Side Effects (Common)

• Cough, sore throat, hoarseness.

• Headache, nausea, oral thrush.

• Fast heartbeat (rare).

• Rinse mouth post-use to minimize side effects.

Warnings

• Not for sudden attacks: Use a “reliever” inhaler (e.g., salbutamol) for emergencies.

• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult doctor.

• Smoking/Alcohol: Avoid smoking; alcohol safety unknown.

Missed Dose?

• Take ASAP, but skip if close to next dose. Never double dose.

How It Works

• Salmeterol: Relaxes airway muscles → widens airways.

• Fluticasone: Reduces inflammation → prevents swelling.

Note: Always follow your doctor’s instructions for dosage and inhaler technique. Report worsening symptoms or unusual side effects.
