The Serevent Inhaler is a long-acting bronchodilator containing salmeterol. It is prescribed to help manage and prevent symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by opening the airways in the lungs so you can breathe more easily. It is not intended for the relief of sudden or severe asthma attacks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? We're here to help
Can I use the Serevent Inhaler before exercise?
The Serevent Inhaler may help prevent exercise-induced symptoms due to its long-acting bronchodilation, but it should only be used as prescribed. It is not a fast-acting inhaler. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist if you regularly experience breathing difficulties during exercise.
Is the Serevent Inhaler safe for long-term use?
The Serevent Inhaler is designed for long-term management of asthma and COPD when used as directed. Regular reviews with your healthcare provider are important to ensure the treatment remains suitable and effective for your condition.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Serevent Inhaler?
If you miss a dose of the Serevent Inhaler, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not double up or take extra puffs. Maintaining a consistent routine will help keep symptoms under control.
Can the Serevent Inhaler cause throat irritation?
Some users of the Serevent Inhaler may experience throat irritation or hoarseness. Rinsing your mouth with water after each use can help reduce this effect. If symptoms persist or worsen, speak to your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
How can I ensure I’m using the Serevent Inhaler correctly?
Proper technique is essential for the Serevent Inhaler to work effectively. You should breathe in steadily as you activate the inhaler and hold your breath briefly afterwards. If you’re unsure about your technique, ask a pharmacist or clinician for a demonstration.
Can the Serevent Inhaler be used alongside a corticosteroid inhaler?
Yes, the Serevent Inhaler is often prescribed in combination with an inhaled corticosteroid. This combination helps manage long-term asthma symptoms by both reducing inflammation and opening the airways. It is important not to stop using your steroid inhaler unless your doctor advises it.
How do I store Serevent Inhaler?
You can store the Serevent Inhaler in a cool, dry place away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of reach of children and ensure the cap is securely in place when not in use. Do not expose the inhaler to extreme temperatures or puncture the canister.
How do I dispose of Serevent Inhaler?
In order to safely dispose of a Serevent Inhaler, do not puncture or burn the canister, even if it appears empty. Instead, return it to a pharmacy or follow local guidelines for disposing of medical inhalers. This helps protect the environment and prevents accidental misuse.

Directions
The Serevent Inhaler is usually taken twice daily, using the prescribed number of puffs. You should inhale deeply and steadily when activating the device to ensure the medicine reaches the lungs. Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional and read the patient leaflet before use. Do not use it as a rescue inhaler during acute breathing difficulties.
Side Effects
The possible side effects of the Serevent Inhaler may include headaches, muscle cramps, shakiness, throat irritation, or an increased heart rate. These are generally mild and temporary. More serious reactions are rare but should be reported to a medical professional. If your breathing worsens after use, seek medical help promptly.
How it works
The Serevent Inhaler contains salmeterol, a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA). It works by relaxing the muscles in the walls of the airways, helping them stay open for an extended period. This helps reduce breathlessness, wheezing, and other long-term respiratory symptoms associated with asthma or COPD.
