About RHEORAN SF 250MG INHALER

RHEORAN SF 250MG INHALER is used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a breathing disorder characterised by airway narrowing, swelling, and excessive mucus production, resulting in difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases that includes emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes).

RHEORAN SF 250MG INHALER contains Salmeterol and Fluticasone. Salmeterol relaxes the muscles in the airways, increasing airflow to the lungs. Fluticasone acts by blocking the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways.

The common side effects of RHEORAN SF 250MG INHALER include nausea, vomiting, respiratory tract infection, headache, sore throat, cough, bone, muscle or joint pain, increased heart rate, chills, black or tarry stools, and noisy breathing, which gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking this medicine on your own. Therapy with nasal or inhaled corticosteroids like Fluticasone should be cautiously administered in patients with a fungal, bacterial, parasitic, or viral infection and tuberculosis, since there is a chance of developing a secondary infection. Please check with your doctor if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding, or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines.
