Digihaler SF 125 Inhaler

Digihaler SF 125 Inhaler is a prescription inhaler that contains salmeterol and fluticasone propionate in each dose, with the 125 strength as labeled. It combines a long-acting bronchodilator and a corticosteroid, so it is used as maintenance treatment for asthma rather than quick relief. Digihaler SF 125 Inhaler helps reduce airway inflammation and keep the airways open over time. It is not meant to treat a sudden asthma attack.

How it works: Salmeterol relaxes the muscles around the airways so breathing stays easier for longer, while fluticasone propionate lowers swelling and irritation in the lungs. As an inhaler, Digihaler SF 125 Inhaler delivers both medicines directly into the airways, where they can work with less exposure to the rest of the body than an oral medicine.

Digihaler SF 125 Inhaler is a mid-strength option compared with Digihaler SF 250 Inhaler, so it may suit people whose asthma needs more control than a lower-strength inhaler but do not need the higher steroid dose. A doctor may choose Digihaler SF 125 Inhaler when symptom prevention is the goal and the lower strength is not enough, while still avoiding unnecessary higher dosing. The best strength depends on prior asthma control, symptom pattern, and response to treatment.

• Maintenance treatment of asthma
• Prevention of day-to-day asthma symptoms
• Reducing wheeze and shortness of breath over time
• Helping lower the risk of asthma flare-ups when used regularly

• Use Digihaler SF 125 Inhaler exactly as prescribed and do not use it for sudden breathing trouble.
• Take it regularly, even when you feel well, because it works as a controller inhaler.
• Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after each use to help lower the risk of thrush.
• Do not exceed the number of inhalations per day prescribed by your doctor.
• If your asthma symptoms get worse quickly, use your rescue inhaler and seek medical help if needed.
• Keep using the inhaler in the same way each day rather than changing the schedule on your own.

Digihaler SF 125 Inhaler provides salmeterol plus fluticasone propionate at the 125 strength as labeled in the inhaler. The exact number of inhalations and how often to use Digihaler SF 125 Inhaler are determined by the prescriber, and this medicine is typically used on a regular maintenance schedule rather than for quick relief. Do not increase the dose or frequency on your own, because the maximum daily amount depends on the prescribed regimen and your asthma plan.

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

Common side effects of Salmeterol + Fluticasone Propionate may include:
