About Airforu SF 250 DPI Capsule

Airforu SF 250 DPI Capsule is used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) like bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes) and emphysema (shortness of breath). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing.

Airforu SF 250 DPI Capsule is a combination of Salmeterol and Fluticasone propionate. Salmeterol works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widening the airways. Fluticasone propionate works by acting on the nasal lining's inner cells and stopping releasing certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions.

Some people may experience headaches, stomach upset, dizziness, nervousness, vomiting, fungal infection of the mouth, hoarseness of voice, sore throat, cough, and increased heart rate. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
