About Seroflo 250 Ciphaler 60 mdi

Seroflo 250 Ciphaler 60 mdi 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).

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.
