SEROFLO 250 ( Inhaler25mcg/250mcg Salmeterol/Fluticasone)

Product Information

Seroflo 250 Inhaler is used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), including bronchitis and emphysema. Asthma is a long-term condition where the airways narrow, swell, and produce excess mucus, causing breathing difficulty. COPD is a group of lung diseases that obstruct airflow and cause persistent respiratory symptoms.

Seroflo combines two medicines:

• Salmeterol – a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles and widens the airways, making breathing easier.

• Fluticasone propionate – a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and allergic reactions in the airways.

Why is this Medication Prescribed?

• To control and prevent asthma symptoms (wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing)

• To manage COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema

• To improve lung function and prevent worsening respiratory attacks

How Should this Medicine be Used?
