SERETIDE 25/125 INHALER

The Seretide 25/125 Inhaler is a prescription preventer inhaler that combines salmeterol and fluticasone propionate to control asthma. Taken twice daily, it may help reduce airway inflammation and keep the airways open for easier breathing. It is a long-term maintenance medicine for adults and adolescents, not a rescue inhaler for sudden attacks.

What Is the Seretide 25/125 Inhaler Used For?

This inhaler is used for the regular, long-term control of asthma. It works through two active ingredients:

• Salmeterol: a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the airway muscles for up to twelve hours.
• Fluticasone propionate: an inhaled corticosteroid that supports the lungs by calming inflammation.

Together, they may help prevent wheezing, chest tightness, and breathlessness. As a preventer, it works best when used every day.

How Do You Use the Seretide Inhaler?

Use it twice a day as a regular preventer, following these steps:

• Shake the inhaler and remove the cap.
• Breathe out fully, away from the device.
• Press to release one puff while breathing in slowly, then hold your breath briefly.
• Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out to lower the risk of oral thrush.

The usual adult dose is one to two puffs twice a day; always follow your prescription. Never use it to relieve a sudden attack; keep a separate reliever inhaler for emergencies.

What Are the Side Effects of the Seretide Inhaler?

Most users tolerate this medicine well, and side effects are usually mild. Possible effects include:

• Hoarse voice or throat irritation.
• Oral thrush can be reduced by rinsing the mouth after each dose.
• Headache.
• Less commonly, a fast heartbeat, tremor, or muscle cramps.

If breathing worsens after a puff, or if symptoms persist, contact your doctor.

Is the Seretide 25/125 Inhaler Safe for Children?

This strength is generally prescribed for adults and older children; a paediatrician may advise a lower strength for younger ones. Children should use it only under medical supervision, ideally with a spacer, and never at an adjusted dose.

• Diabetes, thyroid, or heart conditions.
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding (use only on medical advice).
