Airtec SF 25 mcg/50 mcg Inhaler

Airtec SF 25 mcg/50 mcg Inhaler is a combination asthma inhaler that contains salmeterol 25 mcg and fluticasone propionate 50 mcg in each inhaler dose unit. It belongs to the long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) plus inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) class and is used as maintenance treatment for asthma, not for sudden breathing attacks. Airtec SF 25 mcg/50 mcg Inhaler helps improve breathing by reducing airway inflammation and keeping the airways open over time.

How it works: Salmeterol relaxes the muscles around the airways so they stay open longer, which can make breathing easier with regular use of the inhaler. Fluticasone propionate reduces swelling and irritation inside the lungs, helping prevent asthma symptoms and flare-ups.

Airtec SF 25 mcg/50 mcg Inhaler is the lower-strength option compared with Airtec SF 50 mcg/250 mcg Inhaler, so it may be chosen for people who need maintenance therapy without the higher steroid and bronchodilator exposure of the stronger version. A doctor may select this strength when a smaller inhaled dose is appropriate based on symptom control, age, prior inhaler response, and asthma severity.

• Maintenance treatment of asthma
• Prevention of day-to-day wheezing and shortness of breath
• Reduction of nighttime asthma symptoms
• Help with long-term control of airway inflammation
• Not for sudden asthma attacks

• Use Airtec SF 25 mcg/50 mcg Inhaler exactly as prescribed, and do not use it to treat a sudden asthma attack.
• Inhale the medicine through the mouth from the inhaler device as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.
• Use it regularly at the same times each day for best control, even if you feel well.
• If you also need a rescue inhaler, keep it available for sudden symptoms because this product is not a rescue medicine.
• Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after use to lower the risk of oral thrush.
• Do not change to the stronger Airtec SF 50 mcg/250 mcg Inhaler unless your prescriber tells you to.

Airtec SF 25 mcg/50 mcg Inhaler delivers a lower maintenance dose of salmeterol 25 mcg plus fluticasone propionate 50 mcg in this inhaler strength. It is typically taken on a regular schedule, often twice daily, but the exact frequency and the maximum daily use must be set by your doctor based on asthma control and other medicines you use. Do not use extra doses on your own, and do not exceed the prescribed amount.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
