Seroflo Inhaler (Fluticasone Plus Salmeterol) Buyer and Patient Handbook - Singapore
What is Seroflo Inhaler?
Seroflo Inhaler is a combination corticosteroid-bronchodilator inhaler used to treat Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains fluticasone (a steroid that reduces airway inflammation) and salmeterol (a long-acting beta-agonist that relaxes airway muscles). The device is approved by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) and is available in metered-dose inhaler form.
Who Should Use Seroflo Inhaler?
- Adults and adolescents ≥ 12 years with persistent asthma or COPD who need daily maintenance therapy.
- Patients whose symptoms are not adequately controlled with a single-ingredient inhaler.
- Individuals who can perform proper inhaler technique and adhere to twice-daily dosing.
How Does It Work?
Fluticasone binds to glucocorticoid receptors in airway cells, turning off inflammatory signals, while salmeterol activates β₂-adrenergic receptors to keep the airway smooth muscle relaxed for about 12 hours. Together they provide both symptom relief and long-term control. The inhaler delivers the medication directly to the lungs, minimizing systemic exposure.
Why Choose Seroflo Inhaler?
- Convenient dual-action in a single device reduces the number of inhalers a patient must carry.
- Proven efficacy in clinical trials for improving lung function and reducing exacerbations.
- Generic fluticasone-salmeterol inhalers are available locally, offering a lower-cost alternative with comparable bioavailability.
Recommended Dosage
- 25 µg fluticasone / 125 µg salmeterol - two inhalations twice daily.
- 25 µg fluticasone / 250 µg salmeterol - two inhalations twice daily (for patients requiring higher bronchodilator potency).
How to Take
- Shake the inhaler gently before each use.
- Exhale fully, place the mouthpiece between your lips, and seal tightly.
- Press the canister once while inhaling slowly and deeply; hold breath for 10 seconds, then exhale slowly.
- Repeat for the second puff, waiting about 30 seconds between puffs.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember provided at least 4 hours have passed since the previous dose. Skip the missed dose if it’s almost time for the next scheduled dose; do not double-dose.
Overdose
In case of an accidental overdose, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms may include rapid heartbeat, tremor, or severe throat irritation.
Special Populations
- Elderly: Start with the lower-strength inhaler and monitor for tremor or palpitations.
- Children < 12 years: Not recommended; consult a healthcare professional for age-appropriate alternatives.
- Renal or hepatic impairment: No dosage adjustment is required, but close monitoring is advisable.
Lifestyle & Diet
- Avoid using the inhaler within 30 minutes of a large meal if you experience acid reflux.
- Grapefruit juice can increase systemic exposure to fluticasone; limit intake.
- Maintain regular aerobic exercise; the bronchodilator component helps prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.
Precautions and Warnings
- Use only as a maintenance therapy; do not rely on it for sudden asthma attacks - keep a rescue inhaler handy.
- May cause oral thrush; rinse mouth with water and spit after each use.
- Monitor blood pressure and heart rate, especially in patients with cardiovascular disease.
- Discontinue if you develop signs of paradoxical bronchospasm (worsening breathlessness, wheezing).
Drug Interactions
| Interacting Drug Class | Risk | Action |
|---|---|---|
| β-blockers | May reduce bronchodilator effect | Use selective β₁-blockers if needed |
| CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole) | Increased steroid levels | Monitor for systemic effects |
| Diuretics | May worsen hypokalemia from β₂-agonist | Check electrolytes regularly |
Potential Side Effects
Common Side Effects
- Oral candidiasis (thrush)
- Hoarseness or voice change
- Cough or throat irritation
Less Common Side Effects
- Headache
- Muscle cramps
- Nasal congestion
Serious Side Effects
- Paradoxical bronchospasm (increased wheezing) - stop use and seek urgent care.
- Severe allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) - seek emergency help.
Who Should Avoid This Medication?
- Known hypersensitivity to fluticasone, salmeterol, or any inhaler excipients.
- Patients with a history of severe asthma attacks triggered by β₂-agonists.
- Individuals taking non-selective β-blockers for Migraine or tremor without medical supervision.
Storage Instructions
- Store at 20-25 °C (68-77 °F); protect from extreme heat and humidity.
- Keep the inhaler in the original child-resistant container.
- Do not refrigerate or freeze; discard after 12 months of opening, even if doses remain.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will I notice improvement after starting Seroflo Inhaler?
Most patients feel better within 3-5 days, though full lung-function benefits may take 2-4 weeks of consistent use.
Can I use Seroflo Inhaler with my rescue inhaler?
Yes, continue using a short-acting bronchodilator (e.g., Salbutamol) for acute symptoms; the two devices work together safely.
Is it safe to take Seroflo Inhaler while pregnant?
Animal studies show no teratogenic risk, but discuss with your obstetrician to weigh benefits against potential risks.
Will Seroflo Inhaler affect my ability to drive or operate machinery?
Salmeterol can cause mild tremor or palpitations in some individuals; monitor your response before performing safety-critical tasks.
Can I switch from a metered-dose inhaler to a dry-powder inhaler?
Switching is possible, but you must be trained on the new device technique to ensure proper dosing.
Does smoking interfere with Seroflo Inhaler effectiveness?
Smoking can reduce medication delivery to the lungs and worsen asthma; quitting is strongly advised.
What should I do if I develop a sore throat after use?
Rinse your mouth with water and consider using a spacer device; if symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.
Is it okay to take vitamins or supplements with Seroflo Inhaler?
Most over-the-counter vitamins are safe, but high-dose herbal supplements (e.g., ephedra) may increase cardiovascular side effects; discuss any supplements with your clinician.

Reviews
Just started the Seroflo 25/125. The relief is amazing, seriously opened up my lungs fast. But the tremor? My hands shake like crazy for about an hour after using it. I read online this is common, but it makes typing impossible. Trying to remember to rinse my mouth *super* well every time to avoid the thrush scare. Not drinking coffee for a while, that just amplifies the jitters.
This combination really keeps my exercise-induced asthma in check. Been using the higher dose (25/250) for nearly two years now. The hack is definitely using a spacer-it reduces the amount that hits your throat and minimizes the dry, scratchy cough Seroflo can give you. The only downside is the chronic hoarseness. My singing voice is non-existent now. Worth it for the ability to run though.
Mixed feelings. The speed of the rescue component (salmeterol) is fantastic, way faster than the blue one I used before. But I feel like my anxiety levels are creeping up slowly since starting Seroflo. It's subtle, not full-blown panic, just a low-grade worry buzz all day. Maybe I need to drop the morning dose slightly? I’ve been struggling with insomnia too, which doesn't help the daytime jitters.
The dry throat is the absolute worst part of this inhaler. It’s relentless. My trick is to keep a water bottle next to me always and chew sugar-free gum immediately after rinsing. Been on it maybe four months, and my asthma symptoms are under control for the first time in years. I haven't had to use my emergency inhaler once, which is massive progress. Just wish it didn't make me feel so wired during the day.
I’m only three weeks in and the side effects are rough. I feel super foggy, almost like brain zaps sometimes when I turn my head suddenly. Also dealing with intense congestion and sinus pressure, which seems counter-intuitive for an asthma med! I read that some people split their total daily dose into smaller puff increments, but I'm nervous to mess with the schedule yet. I hope this clears up, because my nighttime wheezing is gone.
Long-timer here, five years on the 25/250 Seroflo. The key to bone density issues (which steroids can cause) is religious calcium and Vitamin D supplements. And listen, ALWAYS use the mask/chamber/spacer. It prevents almost all the throat and voice issues. If I skip the spacer for one day, my throat feels raw the next. The medicine itself is fantastic; controls my severe asthma beautifully, zero attacks since 2018.
It works great for the wheezing, especially overnight, but I gained weight. I swear Fluticasone makes me crave carbs constantly. It's frustrating trading clear lungs for two sizes up in jeans. My doctor said it wasn't a guarantee, but here we are. User tip: Brush your teeth immediately after rinsing, don't just rinse-that really helps prevent that metallic taste and potential fungal issues later on.
The initial crash when you switch to Seroflo is weird. You feel great, then suddenly exhausted and moody mid-afternoon. Stick with it-that leveled out for me after about six weeks. I found taking a B-complex vitamin helps manage the steroid fatigue. The cost is high, but the convenience of having both control and immediate relief in one device is worth the hassle of the occasional headache.
