The Sereflo Inhaler contains two medicines, salmeterol and fluticasone propionate:
Sereflo helps to stop breathlessness and wheeziness coming on, but it should not be used to relieve a sudden attack of breathlessness or wheezing. If this happens, you need to use a fast-acting reliever/rescue inhaler.
It’s important to get your asthma checked by a medical professional to ensure nothing has changed and to make sure you are getting the most from your inhaler. Our blog article, ‘the importance of your asthma review’, can give you a better understanding of how your asthma can be managed.
It is very important to follow your doctor’s instructions on how many puffs to take, and how often to take your medicine. Your doctor, nurse or pharmacist should show you how to use your inhaler and check how you use it from time to time. If you are not using it properly, it may not help your asthma as it should.
Before using your inhaler, it is important to start to breathe as slowly as possible and follow these steps:
You must use your Sereflo Inhaler exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. This will make sure that it works properly and controls your asthma. If you are not sure, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
The Sereflo Inhaler should be used every day until your doctor advises you to stop, and you should not take more than the recommended dose. The recommended use for both 25microgram/125 microgram and 25microgram/250 microgram is two puffs, twice a day, and should be inhaled through the mouth into the lungs.
You must not stop taking Sereflo or reduce the dose without talking to your doctor first.
Like all medication, taking a Sereflo Inhaler can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Your doctor will prescribe the lowest dose of Sereflo to reduce the chance of side effects, and control your asthma. The most common side effects include:
It’s possible that your breathing suddenly gets worse immediately after using Sereflo. It may be necessary to use your fast-acting ‘reliever’ inhaler to help with your breathing. Additionally, you may notice itching, a rash, swelling, heart beating very fast, or feeling faint and light-headed. Although these side effects are uncommon, if you get any of these effects or if they happen suddenly after using the Sereflo Inhaler, stop using it and tell your doctor straight away.
Additionally, if you suffer any other side effects, including any not listed in the patient information leaflet, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
You should not take a Sereflo Inhaler if you are allergic to salmeterol, fluticasone propionate or to any of the excipients including the ingredient norflurane.
