Flutrol 250 Inhaler is administered via inhalation.

Flutrol 250 Inhaler contains two active components:

• Salmeterol (25 mcg): As a selective, long-acting beta 2-receptor agonist, salmeterol stimulates an enzyme called intracellular adenylyl cyclase inside the body. This enzyme promotes the conversion of ATP to cyclic AMP, leading to relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and inhibition of the release of hypersensitivity mediators from mast cells.

• Fluticasone Propionate (250 mcg): This is a synthetic corticosteroid exhibiting potent anti-inflammatory activity in the lungs. It binds to glucocorticoid receptors and inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators like histamine, leukotrienes and prostaglandins. This process reduces swelling, mucus production and hyperresponsiveness in the airways.

• Store your Flutrol 250 Inhaler at room temperature below 30°C.

• Keep the inhaler away from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always ensure the mouthpiece is clean and dry; a weekly clean with a dry tissue or cloth is recommended.

• Keep it out of reach from children for safety.

• Use the inhaler before its expiry date for optimal efficacy.

• If you are managing asthma or COPD with Flutrol 250 Inhaler, avoid exposure to smoking, as it can worsen your symptoms. Try to maintain a smoke-free environment in your home and workplace.

• Engage in gentle, regular exercise like walking or yoga. Physical activity can improve lung function and overall health, but always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
