Seretide contains two active ingredients, salmeterol, and fluticasone propionate: Salmeterol is a long-lasting bronchodilator. Bronchodilators help keep the airways in the lungs open, making it easier for air to get in and out. The effects last at least 12 hours. Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid that decreases inflammation and irritation of the lungs. Your doctor has prescribed this medication to help prevent respiratory problems such as: Asthma. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Seretide Accuhaler, at a dose of 50/500 micrograms, reduces the number of exacerbations of COPD symptoms. You should use Seretide every day as your doctor has recommended. This will ensure that the medication works correctly to control your asthma or COPD. Seretide helps prevent shortness of breath and wheezing. However, Seretide should not be used to relieve a sudden attack of choking or wheezing. In such a case, you must use your fast-acting "rescue" medication, such as salbutamol. You should carry your fast-acting rescue medication with you at all times.

People also ask

What is Seretide Accuhaler?

Seretide is an inhalation medication that dilates and protects the airways. Its active ingredients are salmeterol and fluticasone. Seretide reduces the sensitivity of the airways to stimuli and stops inflammation, in addition to facilitating breathing. Seretide is only sold by prescription.

How does Seretide Accuhaler work?

Seretide inhaler (CFC-free) contains fluticasone propionate, which is a corticosteroid and an anti-inflammatory medication that blocks the production of inflammatory chemicals released into the airways in response to the asthma trigger, such as allergens or airborne irritants. Inflammation is one of the underlying causes of asthma along with bronchospasm, which is constriction or narrowing of the bronchioles (small airways). The Seretide inhaler works directly on the walls of the airways to reduce inflammatory reactions in the airways, helping to prevent asthma symptoms caused by inflamed and inflamed airways such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. It does not alleviate the bronchospasm that occurs during an asthma attack and you need a "soothing" medication to open your airways.

What are the benefits of using Seretide Accuhaler?

Seretide inhaler uses include being indicated as a treatment for respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). The active substance salmeterol relaxes the muscles of the airways to facilitate breathing. The added fluticasone reduces the sensitivity of the airways to stimuli such as humidity, pets, or smoke, in addition to stopping the inflammation they cause. Seretide is used as a prevention, to prevent symptoms from appearing (chest tightness, cough, and shortness of breath); it is not effective in relieving acute respiratory crises.

How do I use Seretide Accuhaler & its dosage?

Using the accuhaler

  1. To open the Accuhaler, grasp the outer casing with one hand and place the thumb of the other hand in the space reserved for it. Push with your finger, away from you, as far as it will go. You will hear a click. This will open a small hole in the nozzle.
  2. Hold the device with the mouthpiece towards you. You can hold it with your right or left hand. Slide the lever away. You will hear a click. This will place the dose of medication in the mouthpiece.
  3. Every time the lever is pulled back, and alveolus opens and the powder is ready to be inhaled. Do not play with the lever because they open the alveoli and medicine is wasted.
  4. Keep the Accuhaler away from the mouth. Expel air as reasonably as possible. Do not breathe inside the Accuhaler.
  5. Place the mouthpiece on the lips; breath in progressively and intensely through the Accuhaler, not through the nose.
  6. Take the Accuhaler out of your mouth.
  7. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds or as long as possible.
  8. Expel air slowly.
  9. Then rinse your mouth with water and spit it out and/or brush your teeth. This can help you prevent mouth ulcers and hoarseness.
  10. To close the Accuhaler, slide the lever toward you as far as possible with your thumb. You will hear a click.

The lever will automatically return to its original position. The Accuhaler is now ready for reuse.

As with all inhalers, caregivers should ensure that children using Seretide Accuhaler correctly use the inhalation technique described above.

Using the inhaler

It is important to start breathing in as slowly as possible just before using your inhaler.

  1. It is recommended that you stand or sit upright while using the inhaler.
  2. Remove the mouthpiece guard. Check inside and outside that the nozzle is clean and that there are no foreign particles.
  3. Shake the inhaler 4 or 5 times to ensure the removal of any foreign particles and that the contents of the inhaler are mixed properly.
  4. Hold the inhaler upright with your thumb at the base of the inhaler, below the mouthpiece. Expel as much air as possible.
  5. Place the mouthpiece in the mouth between the teeth. Close your lips around the mouthpiece. Don't bite it.
  6. Take air through your mouth slowly and deeply. Right after you start to breathe in, press firmly on the top of the inhaler to release the medicine. Do this while continuing to breathe deeply and constantly.
  7. Hold your breath, remove the inhaler from your mouth by removing your finger from the top of the inhaler. Continue to hold your breath for a few seconds, as much as possible.
  8. Wait approximately half a minute between each application of the medicine and then repeat steps 3 to 7.

Then rinse your mouth with water and spit it out and / or brush your teeth. This will help you prevent ulcerations in your mouth and hoarseness.

After use, always replace the mouthpiece guard immediately to protect it from dust. When the mouthpiece guard is placed correctly it will click. If it does not click, turn the mouthpiece guard upside down and try again. Do not use excessive force.
