Seretide Accuhaler Tablet 60

Seretide Accuhaler Powder is beneficial for the following:

• Maintenance management of asthma: This medicine helps in controlling and preventing symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath.

• Management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): It is used for the symptomatic control of patients with severe COPD who have frequent exacerbations and significant symptoms despite regular bronchodilator therapy.

Here are the steps to use Seretide Accuhaler Powder correctly:

• Open the Accuhaler by pushing the thumb grip until the mouthpiece appears.

• Slide the lever until it clicks to load a dose.

• Exhale fully, then place the mouthpiece in your mouth and inhale steadily and deeply.

• Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then breathe out slowly.

• Rinse your mouth with water after inhaling to reduce the risk of oral thrush.

Remember to consult your doctor for specific advice on using this medicine.

Seretide Accuhaler Powder is inhaled via a specialised inhaler device.

Seretide Accuhaler Powder contains two active ingredients:

• Salmeterol (50 mcg): A selective, long-acting beta 2-adrenergic receptor agonist that works by relaxing the smooth muscles in your airways. This action helps open up the airways, making it easier for you to breathe.

• Fluticasone Propionate (250 mcg): This synthetic corticosteroid has potent anti-inflammatory properties. It works by reducing swelling and irritation in your airways, making them less sensitive and less likely to react to asthma triggers.

The combined effect of these two ingredients provides better management of asthma and COPD symptoms than either component alone.

• Keep your Seretide Accuhaler Powder in a dry place below 30°C.

• Shield it from direct sunlight and avoid damp areas like the bathroom.

• Make sure it's out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before use.

• If you are managing asthma or COPD, avoid tobacco smoke and other pollutants. These can trigger symptoms and make your condition worse.

• A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean protein can support overall health and immunity, helping to keep your lungs healthy.
