Aprašymas
Seretide is a combination inhaler used for the long-term management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains two active ingredients: salmeterol, a long-acting bronchodilator, and fluticasone, a corticosteroid. Together, they work to keep the airways open and reduce inflammation in the lungs, helping individuals breathe more easily on a daily basis.
Salmeterol helps relax the muscles around the airways, allowing for improved airflow and reducing symptoms like wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Fluticasone, on the other hand, reduces swelling and inflammation in the lungs, which is key to controlling the underlying causes of asthma and COPD symptoms.
Seretide is not a quick-relief or rescue inhaler. Instead, it is designed for regular use to maintain control and prevent flare-ups. In asthma, it helps reduce the frequency and severity of attacks. In COPD, it helps manage symptoms, reduce the risk of exacerbations, and support better lung function over time.
The medication is usually taken twice a day using a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) or a dry powder inhaler (such as the Accuhaler or Disku)t. For best results, Seretide should be used consistently, even when symptoms are under control. It may take a few days to a couple of weeks to feel its full effect.
Side effects can include a hoarse voice, sore throat, or oral thrush. Rinsing the mouth after each use helps reduce these risks. It is important not to stop using Seretide suddenly, especially if it has been used for a long time, unless advised by a healthcare provider.
Bendra informacija
Seretide is a combination inhaler containing fluticasone propionate (a corticosteroid) and salmeterol (a long-acting bronchodilator). It is used for the management of asthma and COPD.
Seretide is prescribed for individuals with asthma and COPD to help control symptoms, reduce airway inflammation, and prevent flare-ups.
Seretide works by combining an anti-inflammatory steroid with a bronchodilator. Fluticasone reduces swelling in the airways, while salmeterol keeps them open for easier breathing.
The typical dosage is one inhalation twice daily. Dosage may vary based on severity of the condition and medical history. Always follow your doctor's instructions.
Seretide is not a fast-acting rescue inhaler. It takes time to build up its effects and is meant for long-term symptom control rather than immediate relief.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it’s close to your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue as normal. Do not double up.
Seretide provides both inflammation control and long-term airway dilation, unlike rescue inhalers, which only offer short-term relief.
