Product Overview
Seroflo 100 Rotacaps is a combination of two active ingredients that work together to help open the airways in the lungs, making it easier to breathe. It is primarily used to manage conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which cause difficulty in breathing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
Salt Composition / Key Ingredients
- Salmeterol (50 mcg): A long-acting bronchodilator that helps relax the muscles in the airways, allowing them to open up and improve airflow.
- Fluticasone Propionate (100 mcg): A steroid that reduces inflammation in the airways by inhibiting the release of inflammatory chemicals, thus helping to prevent airway swelling.
How to Use Seroflo 100 Rotacaps
Use Seroflo 100 Rotacaps as directed by your doctor. The dosage and frequency will vary depending on your condition. It is important to follow the prescribed schedule, even if you feel fine, as the medication is most effective when used regularly. Always ensure you have the correct inhaler technique to maximize the medicine’s effectiveness.
Note: This inhaler is not intended for immediate relief during an asthma attack. For sudden symptoms or attacks, use your quick-relief inhaler (reliever) as prescribed by your doctor.
How Seroflo 100 Rotacaps Works
Seroflo 100 Rotacaps combines Salmeterol and Fluticasone Propionate to provide both long-term bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory effects.
- Salmeterol works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, allowing them to widen, which helps ease breathing.
- Fluticasone Propionate reduces inflammation in the airways, preventing swelling and narrowing, which helps reduce symptoms like coughing and wheezing.
Together, these two ingredients work to improve airflow, making breathing easier and helping you manage asthma or COPD symptoms more effectively.
