SERETIDE INHALER – PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Seretide is a combination inhaler containing fluticasone propionate, an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), and salmeterol, a long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA).
The combination works through two complementary mechanisms: fluticasone helps reduce airway inflammation, while salmeterol helps keep the airways open for longer-lasting bronchodilation.
Seretide is prescribed for the regular maintenance treatment of asthma when an inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting bronchodilator combination is appropriate. Certain strengths are also used for COPD maintenance treatment, according to the applicable product information and medical advice.
IMPORTANT: Seretide is a maintenance medicine and should not be used to treat a sudden asthma attack or acute breathing emergency. A suitable reliever/rescue inhaler should be available when prescribed by a healthcare professional.
