Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 250 mcg

Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 250 mcg is a combination asthma inhaler that contains salmeterol 25 mcg and fluticasone propionate 250 mcg in each dose. It belongs to the long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) plus inhaled corticosteroid class and is used to help control and prevent asthma symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. This Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 250 mcg is a maintenance treatment, not a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing trouble.

How it works: In Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 250 mcg, salmeterol helps relax the muscles around the airways so breathing stays easier for longer. Fluticasone propionate reduces inflammation and swelling inside the airways, and the inhaler delivers both medicines directly to the lungs.

Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 250 mcg is the higher-strength option compared with Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 125 mcg, so it delivers more fluticasone propionate in each inhalation. A doctor may choose this strength for people whose asthma has not been controlled well enough on the lower-strength inhaler, while still using the same salmeterol component for long-acting symptom control.

• Maintenance treatment of asthma
• Prevention of asthma symptoms
• Long-term control of airway inflammation
• Reduction of wheezing and shortness of breath
• Prevention of nighttime asthma symptoms

• Use Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 250 mcg exactly as prescribed; it is not a quick-relief medicine for sudden attacks.
• Inhale the dose through the mouth only, as directed by your prescriber or the product instructions.
• Use it on a regular schedule, usually at the same times each day, to help keep asthma controlled.
• After each dose, rinse your mouth with water and spit it out to lower the risk of oral thrush.
• Do not take extra puffs to treat sudden symptoms; use a rescue inhaler if your doctor has prescribed one for acute breathing trouble.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

This product provides 25 mcg of salmeterol with 250 mcg of fluticasone propionate per dose. The exact dosing frequency and maximum daily amount are set by the doctor based on asthma severity and response; this higher-strength Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 250 mcg is generally used only when a lower-strength inhaler is not enough. Do not use more doses than prescribed, and do not use it for sudden asthma attacks.

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
• Throat irritation
• Headache
• Cough after inhalation
• Oral yeast infection (thrush)
• Tremor or shaky feeling
• Fast heartbeat or palpitations

• Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 250 mcg is a maintenance inhaler and should not be used as a rescue inhaler.
• Because this is a higher-strength product, it should be used only when a clinician has decided the higher fluticasone dose is appropriate.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, arrhythmias, hyperthyroidism, or seizures.
• Use caution if you have diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, osteoporosis, or a history of low potassium.
• Do not stop the inhaler suddenly without medical advice, because asthma can worsen.
• Rinse and spit after use to reduce the chance of oral thrush.
• If you need your rescue inhaler more often than usual, contact your doctor promptly.

• Other LABA medicines may increase the risk of side effects and should generally not be used together.
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, or cobicistat can raise fluticasone levels.
• Beta-blockers may reduce the bronchodilator effect and can worsen asthma.
• Diuretics or other medicines that lower potassium may increase the risk of low potassium.
• MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants may increase cardiovascular side effects with salmeterol.

Store Seroflo Inhaler 25 mcg + 250 mcg at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight, and keep the inhaler dry and capped when not in use.
