Salflute 100 Axacap

Salflute 100 Axacap is a prescription asthma medicine that contains salmeterol and fluticasone propionate in the labeled 100 strength per tablet. It combines a long-acting bronchodilator with an inhaled corticosteroid to help keep airways open and reduce swelling in the lungs. This product is used for ongoing control of asthma symptoms, not for sudden breathing attacks. Each bottle in the Salflute 100 Axacap pack contains the labeled tablet strength as supplied by AXA Parenterals Ltd.

How it works: Salmeterol relaxes the muscles around the airways so breathing passages stay open for longer. Fluticasone propionate lowers inflammation and swelling inside the lungs, which helps prevent asthma symptoms when used regularly in this tablet form as prescribed.

Salflute 100 Axacap is the 100-strength tablet option in this brand family, while Salflute 250 Inhaler is a different higher-strength inhaled form. This tablet strength may be chosen when a doctor wants a specific oral tablet presentation rather than an inhaler-based product, but it still needs medical supervision because it is not a rescue medicine. If a lower-strength or inhaled option is appropriate, your prescriber may prefer that based on symptom control and tolerance.

• Maintenance treatment of asthma
• Long-term symptom control
• Reducing wheeze and shortness of breath
• Helping prevent asthma flare-ups
• Controller therapy, not rescue treatment

• Take Salflute 100 Axacap exactly as your doctor prescribes; do not use it for sudden asthma attacks.
• Swallow the tablet with water unless your prescriber has given different directions for this exact product.
• Take it at the same time each day to help keep a steady effect.
• Do not increase the dose or take extra tablets if symptoms worsen; use your rescue inhaler for quick relief and seek medical advice.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• If your label or pharmacist instructions differ from standard tablet use, follow the directions on your prescription label.

Salflute 100 Axacap provides the labeled 100-strength dose per tablet, and the exact tablet count and dosing schedule depend on the doctor’s order. It may be taken once or twice daily depending on the prescription, but the maximum daily amount is set by the prescriber and should not be exceeded. Because this is a specific prescribed strength, your doctor decides whether Salflute 100 Axacap is the right option for your asthma control.

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

Common side effects of Salmeterol + Fluticasone Propionate may include:

• Headache
• Throat irritation
• Hoarseness or voice changes
• Nausea or stomach upset
• Tremor or shakiness
• Mild cough
• Mouth dryness

• Do not use Salflute 100 Axacap to treat an acute asthma attack.
• Because this is a 100-strength product, do not assume it is a low-strength starter dose; your doctor may have selected it for specific maintenance needs.
• Tell your prescriber if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disease, seizures, or low potassium.
• Use caution if you have a history of fungal, bacterial, or viral infections because corticosteroids can affect immune response.
• If you notice your rescue inhaler is needed more often, contact your doctor promptly.
• Ask your clinician before drinking alcohol if you have a condition that can worsen with sedation, dizziness, or stomach upset.
• Do not stop this medicine suddenly unless your prescriber tells you to do so.

• Other LABA medicines, because combining them can raise the risk of heart side effects
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ritonavir, cobicistat, ketoconazole, or clarithromycin
• Beta-blockers, which can reduce the bronchodilator effect and worsen asthma in some people
• Diuretics or other medicines that may lower potassium
• Other corticosteroids, which can increase steroid-related side effects
