  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Helps manage symptoms of COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

The medication combines two active ingredients:

  • Throat irritation or hoarseness
  • Oral thrush (fungal infection in the mouth)
  • Cough

Less common but more serious side effects include:

  • Allergic reactions: Symptoms may include rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and trouble breathing.
  • Increased heart rate (tachycardia)
  • Tremors
  • Osteoporosis (with long-term use)
  • Eye problems: Such as cataracts or glaucoma.
  • Suppression of adrenal gland function

Precautions:

When using the Seretide Diskus 50/100 mcg Evohaler, consider the following precautions:

  • Regular Monitoring: Regularly monitor lung function and asthma/COPD symptoms.
  • Oral Hygiene: Rinse mouth with water after each use to reduce the risk of oral thrush.
  • Medical History: Inform your healthcare provider of any existing conditions, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disorders, liver problems, or osteoporosis.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
  • Allergies: Disclose any known allergies to fluticasone, salmeterol, or any other medications.
  • Proper Use: Follow the instructions for use precisely to ensure the medication is delivered effectively. This includes shaking the inhaler well before use, using a spacer if recommended, and inhaling the medication deeply into the lungs.

Usage Instructions:

  • Preparation: Shake the inhaler well before each use.
  • Inhalation: Breathe out fully, place the mouthpiece in your mouth, close your lips around it, and inhale deeply while pressing down on the inhaler to release a dose. Hold your breath for 10 seconds, then exhale slowly.
  • Dosage: Follow the prescribed dosage from your healthcare provider, typically one inhalation twice daily (morning and evening).

Consult Healthcare Provider:

  • Regular Check-ups: Regularly visit your healthcare provider to monitor your condition and adjust the dosage if necessary.
  • Medication Adjustments: Never stop using the medication abruptly without consulting your healthcare provider, as this can worsen asthma or COPD symptoms.

By following these guidelines and using the Seretide Diskus 50/100 mcg Evohaler as directed, you can effectively manage your asthma or COPD symptoms. Always refer to the user manual and your healthcare provider’s instructions for specific usage and recommendations.
