Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 125 mcg

Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 125 mcg is a prescription combination inhaler that contains salmeterol 25 mcg and fluticasone propionate 125 mcg in each dose. It belongs to the long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) plus inhaled corticosteroid class and is used to help control asthma symptoms and reduce flare-ups. This Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 125 mcg is for ongoing maintenance treatment, not for sudden breathing attacks.

How it works: Salmeterol helps relax the muscles around the airways so breathing stays easier for longer, while fluticasone propionate reduces inflammation and swelling inside the airways. Used as an inhaler, Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 125 mcg sends both medicines directly into the lungs where they are needed.

The Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 125 mcg is one of the lower strengths in the Seroflo line, and it may suit people whose asthma is controlled on a lower steroid load or who do not need the higher 25 mcg + 250 mcg strength. Because it delivers less fluticasone than the stronger sibling product, a doctor may choose Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 125 mcg when they want maintenance control with a smaller inhaled steroid dose.

• Maintenance treatment of asthma
• Reducing wheeze and shortness of breath
• Helping prevent asthma symptoms
• Lowering the risk of asthma flare-ups

• Use Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 125 mcg exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• This inhaler is not for quick relief of sudden asthma symptoms; keep a rescue inhaler for attacks.
• Take it at the same times each day to help keep symptoms controlled.
• After each dose, rinse your mouth with water and spit it out to lower the risk of oral thrush.
• Do not exceed the number of inhalations prescribed by your doctor.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next one; do not double up.

Each dose of Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 125 mcg provides salmeterol 25 mcg plus fluticasone propionate 125 mcg. How often you use it depends on your asthma plan; a doctor may prescribe it once or twice daily, but you should not use more than the amount they direct. The maximum daily dose is determined by the prescriber based on your age, asthma severity, and response to treatment.

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

Common side effects of Salmeterol + Fluticasone Propionate may include:

• Hoarseness or voice changes
• Sore throat
• Cough
• Headache
• Mouth irritation
• Oral thrush (more likely if you do not rinse your mouth)
• Tremor or shakiness

• Do not use Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 125 mcg for sudden bronchospasm or an asthma attack.
• Use extra caution if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, arrhythmias, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or seizure disorders.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of tuberculosis, fungal, bacterial, or viral infections.
• Rinse and spit after each use to help prevent oral thrush and throat irritation.
• This higher maintenance strength should only be used if a clinician has decided you need this exact dose.
• Do not stop the inhaler suddenly without medical advice, as asthma may worsen.
• Tell your clinician about any eye disease such as glaucoma or cataracts.

• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ritonavir or ketoconazole may increase fluticasone exposure.
• Other LABA-containing inhalers can increase the risk of side effects and should not be combined unless directed.
• Beta-blockers may reduce the effect of salmeterol and can worsen breathing in some people.
• Diuretics and other medicines that lower potassium can increase the risk of low potassium when used with salmeterol.
• MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants may increase cardiovascular side effects.

Store Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 125 mcg at room temperature, in a dry place, and keep the inhaler capped and away from heat and moisture.
