Seretide Asthma Inhaler

Seretide Asthma Inhaler is a combination inhaler used to treat and manage asthma in adults and children. It contains two active ingredients:

• Fluticasone propionate – a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways, helping prevent asthma attacks.

• Salmeterol xinafoate – a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways, improving airflow and reducing breathing difficulties.

Seretide helps to control asthma symptoms, prevent wheezing, shortness of breath, and improve overall lung function when used regularly.

Seretide Asthma Inhaler Consumption Precautions

Do NOT use Seretide if:

• You are allergic to fluticasone, salmeterol, or any other ingredients in the inhaler.
• You have a severe allergy to milk proteins (some formulations contain lactose).

Check with your doctor before using if:

• You have heart problems, high blood pressure, or irregular heartbeat.
• You have diabetes, thyroid problems, or epilepsy.
• You are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
• You are currently using other inhaled or oral steroids or long-acting bronchodilators.

How To Use Seretide Asthma Inhaler
