SEROFLO 125MG AUTO HALER is used to treat and prevent respiratory disorders, such as asthma attacks and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains Salmeterol and Fluticasone, which relax the muscles in the airways and increase airflow to the lungs. It makes breathing easier by widening the airways. Also, it acts by blocking the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways. It may cause common side effects such as 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. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About SEROFLO 125MG AUTO HALER

SEROFLO 125MG AUTO HALER is a respiratory medication used to treat and prevent respiratory disorders like 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).

SEROFLO 125MG AUTO HALER is a combination of two medicines: Salmeterol and Fluticasone. Salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. It makes breathing easier by widening the airways. Fluticasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It acts by blocking prostaglandins' production (chemical messengers) that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways.

Your doctor will advise on how often you take SEROFLO 125MG AUTO HALER based on your medical condition. The common side effects of SEROFLO 125MG AUTO HALER 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. Most of these side effects of SEROFLO 125MG AUTO HALER do not require medical attention and 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. Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have heart, liver, kidney diseases, hypokalaemia (low potassium levels in the blood), hyperadrenocorticism (high levels of cortisol), eye disorders like cataract and glaucoma, seizure (fits), osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), and diabetes before taking SEROFLO 125MG AUTO HALER. 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.

Medicinal Benefits

SEROFLO 125MG AUTO HALER is used to treat and prevent respiratory disorders, such as asthma attacks and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). SEROFLO 125MG AUTO HALER improves pulmonary function and effectively treats and prevents the worsening of emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes).
