Flutrol 25 mcg + 125 mcg Inhaler

Flutrol 25 mcg + 125 mcg Inhaler is a prescription combination inhaler containing salmeterol and fluticasone propionate. Each actuation delivers salmeterol 25 mcg plus fluticasone propionate 125 mcg, combining a long-acting bronchodilator with an inhaled corticosteroid. It is used for maintenance treatment of asthma to help prevent symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. This inhaler is not meant for sudden asthma attacks or rescue treatment.

How it works: Salmeterol relaxes the muscles around the airways so they stay open longer, making it easier to breathe. Fluticasone propionate reduces swelling and irritation in the airways, and when used together in this inhaler they help prevent asthma symptoms over time.

Flutrol 25 mcg + 125 mcg Inhaler is a mid-strength combination inhaler, so it may be chosen for people whose asthma is not well controlled on a lower-strength option or who need more anti-inflammatory support. The salmeterol component provides longer-lasting bronchodilation, while the 125 mcg fluticasone dose offers stronger daily airway inflammation control than lower-dose versions. A doctor selects this strength based on symptom pattern, prior inhaler use, and overall asthma control.

• Maintenance treatment of asthma
• Prevention of wheezing and chest tightness
• Long-term control of airway inflammation
• Reduction of asthma flare-ups
• Improvement of breathing over time

• Use Flutrol 25 mcg + 125 mcg Inhaler exactly as prescribed by your doctor; it is inhaled, not swallowed.
• Prime and prepare the inhaler only as directed in the patient instructions for that device.
• Breathe out fully away from the mouthpiece, then inhale the medicine deeply and steadily through the mouth.
• Hold your breath for a few seconds after inhaling to help the medicine reach your lungs.
• If you are prescribed more than one inhalation, wait the directed interval between puffs.
• Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after use to help lower the risk of oral thrush.

This product delivers salmeterol 25 mcg plus fluticasone propionate 125 mcg per inhalation, so it is a prescription combination dose rather than a rescue inhaler dose. The exact number of inhalations and how often it is used may vary by patient, but it is typically taken on a regular schedule for asthma control rather than only when symptoms start. Do not exceed the daily amount your doctor prescribes, because the right dose depends on your asthma severity and response to treatment.

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

• Hoarseness or voice changes

• Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, thyroid problems, or bone loss.
• Rinse and spit after each use to reduce the chance of oral thrush.
• Do not stop suddenly without medical advice, especially if you have been using it regularly.
• Report worsening breathing, increased rescue inhaler use, or nighttime symptoms to your doctor.

• Other LABA medicines, because using more than one can raise the risk of side effects

• Beta-blocker medicines, which can reduce bronchodilator effect and may trigger breathing problems
• Diuretics or other medicines that can lower potassium
