Seroflo 250 Rotacaps

About Seroflo 250

Seroflo 250 is a drug that prevents asthma attacks. The salmeterol component has the effect of widening the bronchi and making breathing easier, and the fluticasone component has the effect of relieving bronchial inflammation. Seroflo 250 is a drug that can treat two in one.

It can also be used by people with asthma and allergic rhinitis (hay fever). You can use it with confidence because it is a generic drug of “Advair” prescribed at the hospital. One bottle is for 30 suctions. If you suffer from asthma, please try it.

Simultaneous treatment of anti-inflammatory and bronchodilation is possible with this one! Easy-to-continue inhaled asthma medication

• The active ingredient salmeterol relaxes the bronchial muscles and makes breathing easier.
• It also contains anti-inflammatory ingredients, which are effective in preventing asthma attacks and reducing symptoms.
• Easy to use, just insert the capsule into the dedicated inhaler.

Seroflo 250 is a drug for treating bronchial asthma manufactured by Indian pharmaceutical company Cipla, and is a generic drug of “Advair”.

It has both the effect of suppressing airway inflammation and the effect of dilating the bronchi, making it a long-term control drug (controller) that improves asthma symptoms with continued use.

The special inhaler is also very easy to handle, making it easy to continue taking it, which is a big advantage.

Features of Seroflo 250

Seroflo 250 refers to a capsule containing a drug called Seroflo 250. You can take this capsule by setting it in a special inhaler and inhaling the drug powder inside. Compared to oral drugs, the active ingredients are more likely to reach the bronchi directly, so the risk of systemic side effects is low.

Also, unlike aerosol-type inhalers that must match the inhalation at the same time as the injection of the drug solution, it has the advantage of being easy to inhale with less mistakes because it is a method of inhaling dry powder at your own timing.

However, it may be difficult for children who do not have the strength to inhale the powder all at once or the elderly who have decreased respiratory function. In that case, it is also recommended to try spray inhalation with Seroflo 250, which is the same Seroflo 250 series. Please consult with your doctor and take the dosage that is suitable for you.

The dedicated inhaler Rotahaler is transparent, so you can visually check whether you have inhaled the entire amount properly. The size is also very compact, and the capsule and inhaler can be stored together in the case, making it convenient to carry.

Salmeterol reduces the frequency and severity of asthma attacks

Salmeterol is the first active ingredient in Seroflo 250. Salmeterol is a β2-receptor stimulant with bronchodilatory effects, making it easier to breathe by widening the bronchi.

Bronchial asthma occurs when the airways become inflamed and narrow. At this time, when the β2 receptors present in the sympathetic nerves, which transmit excitement during exercise, are stimulated, the bronchi expand and more air can be taken in. Salmeterol is a component that dilates the bronchi by binding to this β2 receptor, just like when exercising.

Another feature of salmeterol is that it is a long-acting, long-term control drug. Salmeterol has a long duration of action of 12 hours or more, and it is possible to prevent asthma attacks by taking it continuously.

However, it takes a long time for the bronchodilator effect to appear after administration, so it is not suitable for stopping attack symptoms that have already occurred.

Seroflo 250 is an asthma drug recommended for those who have frequent asthma attacks and those who want to prevent attacks from night to early morning.

Fluticasone reduces airway inflammation and may help prevent asthma attacks

The second active ingredient in Seroflo 250 is fluticasone propionate. Fluticasone is a type of steroid and is recommended as a first-line drug in the treatment guidelines of the USA Society of Allergology.

Bronchial inflammation is caused by bioactive substances called prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These have a strong constriction effect on bronchial smooth muscle, which causes bronchial inflammation and airway narrowing. Fluticasone works by blocking the production of arachidonic acid, which is a precursor to prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

Oral steroids usually pass through the blood and spread throughout the body, and side effects may appear as systemic symptoms. However, because Seroflo 250 is an inhaled drug, it is possible to target fluticasone to the lungs and bronchi with pinpoint accuracy. Seroflo 250 suppresses unnecessary side effects and can definitely exert an anti-inflammatory effect on the bronchi.

Effect of Seroflo 250

Effect/Efficacy

It is effective in relieving and preventing symptoms of bronchial asthma.

Seroflo 250 is a long-term control drug (controller) that prevents asthma attacks and improves symptoms by taking it continuously. It is not an attack remedy (reliever) that immediately relieves symptoms when taken, but a therapeutic agent that suppresses bronchial inflammation and prevents asthma symptoms from occurring with the active ingredient.

Therefore, in the unlikely event that a seizure occurs, a reliever will be taken, but caution is required when using the reliever and Seroflo 250 together. Reliever is usually formulated with a β2-receptor stimulant similar to Salmeterol, the bronchodilator component of Seroflo 250.

If the action is enhanced by each β2 receptor stimulant, side effects such as palpitations may occur strongly, so it is recommended to consult a doctor regarding Reliever while taking Seroflo 250.

About the timing of taking

Seroflo 250 is taken by inserting a capsule into a special inhaler, Rotahaler. It is desirable to take the medicine at least 12 hours apart, so it is recommended to take the medicine twice a day, once in the morning and once at night.

It is very easy to take, just exhale fully, put the inhaler in your mouth, and inhale as much as you can.

The rotaheller can be easily washed with water and can be used in a clean state at any time, but it is recommended to replace it with a new one every 6 months.

About the active ingredient of Seroflo 250

Two active ingredients are effective in preventing seizures and reducing symptoms

Seroflo 250 contains two active ingredients, salmeterol and fluticasone propionate.

Salmeterol binds to β2 receptors on sympathetic nerves to relax bronchial muscles and dilate airways. It has a long-lasting effect and long-term use can prevent asthma attacks.

Fluticasone reduces the production of substances that cause inflammation and pain and prevents bronchial inflammation.

Thus, Seroflo 250 is a highly therapeutic inhaler with both anti-inflammatory and bronchodilating properties, which is essential in the treatment of asthma.

Seroflo 250 side effects

Major side effects

Stomatitis, mouth/tongue swelling, candida, etc.

Oral side effects such as stomatitis are caused by the inhaled drug powder remaining in the mouth. This can be prevented to some extent by gargling after taking the medicine.

Rare side effects

Headache, palpitations, loss of appetite, tremors in limbs, numbness, etc.

Serious side effects are rare, but if even mild side effects persist for a long time, see your doctor.
