Seroflo Inhaler containing fluticasone and salmeterol in 25/125mcg and 25/250mcg strengths is available to order from our Singapore pharmacy with reliable delivery. This combination inhaler works by providing both anti-inflammatory action from the corticosteroid and bronchodilation from the long-acting beta agonist to control asthma symptoms. Its dual mechanism helps prevent asthma attacks and improve lung function. It is an ideal solution for adults with persistent asthma or COPD who require maintenance therapy for better respiratory control.
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).
