Uses of Seretide Inhaler 25/125

Seretide Inhaler 25/125 inhalers are used every day to control asthma in adults and children, and to reduce symptoms and flare-ups in COPD. Used regularly, they ease wheezing, chest tightness and breathlessness and lower the chance of serious attacks. They need to be taken even when you feel well, and they do not replace a reliever inhaler for sudden symptoms.

How Seretide Inhaler 25/125 works

Fluticasone is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces swelling and irritation inside the airways over time. Salmeterol is a long-acting beta-agonist that relaxes the airway muscles for many hours. Together they keep the airways calmer and more open than either medicine would alone.

Possible side effects

Most side effects of Seretide Inhaler 25/125 are local to the mouth and throat. Common ones include:

• Hoarse voice
• Oral thrush (white patches in the mouth)
• Sore throat
• Headache
• Tremor or palpitations
• Muscle cramps

Seek urgent help if your breathing worsens straight after using it, if your reliever is not helping, or for swelling of the face or throat.

Precautions and warnings

• Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after each use to reduce the risk of thrush and hoarseness.
• Seretide Inhaler 25/125 is not for sudden attacks, so always keep your reliever inhaler with you.
• Do not stop using it suddenly without speaking to your doctor.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart problems, diabetes, an overactive thyroid or tuberculosis, and mention medicines such as ritonavir or ketoconazole, which can increase steroid side effects.
