Product Name:Seretide MDI Inhaler 25mg-125mg

Product Form: Inhaler

Pack Size: 1's

Manufactured  By: GSK

Used For:

• Asthma: Helps to control and prevent asthma symptoms such as wheezing, breathlessness, and tightness in the chest.
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Reduces exacerbations and improves lung function in individuals with COPD.
• Salmeterol: Acts as a bronchodilator, relaxing the muscles around the airways and keeping them open for up to 12 hours, thus preventing bronchospasm and facilitating easier breathing.
• Fluticasone: Reduces inflammation in the airways, minimizing symptoms and the frequency of asthma or COPD flare-ups.

Side Effects:

• Common Side Effects:

  • Hoarseness or sore throat
  • Oral thrush (fungal infection in the mouth)
  • Headache
  • Muscle pain

• Less Common Side Effects:

  • Increased heart rate or palpitations
  • Tremors
  • Potential decrease in bone density with prolonged use
  • Suppressed immune response, particularly if inhaled corticosteroids are used in high doses over time

Precautions:

• Rinse Mouth After Use: Rinsing the mouth after using the inhaler helps prevent oral thrush and throat irritation.

• Not for Acute Asthma Attacks: This combination is for long-term control, not for immediate relief of asthma attacks. A fast-acting rescue inhaler should be used for sudden symptoms.

• Regular Monitoring: Patients, especially those on long-term high-dose corticosteroids, should be monitored for potential side effects like reduced bone density or adrenal suppression.

• Use in Children and Elderly: Dose adjustments may be necessary, and careful monitoring is advised due to potential growth suppression in children and higher sensitivity in elderly patients.
