Seretide Accuhaler 50mcg/500mcg Blister 60 contains two active ingredients:

• Fluticasone propionate (500 mcg): This is a synthetic corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation in the airways. It blocks inflammatory substances like prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which cause swelling and narrowing of the airways, making it difficult to breathe.

• Salmeterol (50 mcg): This is a long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA) that functions as a bronchodilator. It relaxes the smooth muscles surrounding the airways, widening them and making breathing easier. The effects of salmeterol typically last for about 12 hours, providing long-lasting relief.

• Regular moderate exercise like walking or swimming can help strengthen your lungs and improve breathing capacity, but always warm up gradually before any physical activity.
