Description

Sereflo for Asthma & Breathing Problems

Asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are breathing conditions that primarily affect the lungs and can cause a range of breathing difficulties. Asthma often occurs after exposure to a trigger, however, it can happen randomly. Triggers may include common allergies to pollen or animal dander, infections, environmental changes or from exercise.

Sereflo is a prescription medication used to prevent breathing problems such as asthma. This is a daily asthma preventer that can help to stop feelings of breathlessness and wheezing and is not a reliever inhaler.


What is Sereflo and how does it work?

Sereflo is a combination inhaler that contains two medicines: salmeterol and fluticasone propionate. Salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that can help the airways stay open to increase the amount of air travelling through. Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid which can reduce the swelling and irritation in the lungs. 

Sereflo is indicated for use in adults aged 18 years of age and older only and is not a reliever/rescue inhaler.


Is Sereflo right for me?

If you are diagnosed with asthma, COPD or other breathing condition, you may be prescribed Sereflo by a doctor or healthcare professional. However, it may not be suitable for you if you have the following:

  • If you are allergic to salmeterol, fluticasone propionate or any other ingredients in this medicine

  • If you have an overactive thyroid gland
  • If you have diabetes mellitus
  • If you have low potassium in your blood

Common side effects include:

  • Increased number of colds
  • Headaches
  • Thrush in the mouth and throat
  • Sore tongue
  • Hoarse voice and throat irritation

Always use Sereflo exactly as prescribed by your doctor or advised by the pharmacist. The recommended starting dose for adults is 2 puffs (25/125) twice a day to relieve asthma, however, in presence of other factors, this may be increased or decreased accordingly as per the prescriber's clinical judgement.

Sereflo Asthma Treatment

What is Sereflo?

Sereflo is a proprietary medication formulated for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and asthma. The therapeutic tool is a combination inhaler that contains two active ingredients: fluticasone propionate, a corticosteroid, and salmeterol, a long-acting bronchodilator. It functions by reducing inflammation in the lungs and widening the airways, facilitating individuals with respiratory disorders to breathe more efficiently.

How does Sereflo work?

The dual-action mechanism of Sereflo is quite fascinating, Fluticasone propionate, one of the active ingredients, boasts anti-inflammatory properties. It penetrates the cells lining the airways in the lungs, reducing the release of certain chemicals associated with inflammatory responses. The process decreases swelling and inflammation in the lungs, which in turn aids breathing.

On the other hand, salmeterol works by stimulating receptors known as beta2-adrenoceptors in the lungs. When these receptors are activated, the muscles of the airways relax, causing the airways to open. The action is termed bronchodilation, and it enables easier passage of air in and out of the lungs.

What class of medication is a Seroflo inhaler?

Seroflo belongs to a class of medications known as combination corticosteroids and bronchodilator inhalers. The combination and class of drugs are well-regarded for their effectiveness in managing conditions like asthma and COPD where both inflammation and constriction of the airways are involved.

What is the role of each active ingredient in Seroflo?

Seroflo comprises two active ingredients: fluticasone propionate and salmeterol. Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid that acts on the inflammatory response in the body. It restricts the release of inflammation-causing substances, thus reducing inflammation and swelling in the lungs.

Salmeterol, the second ingredient, is a long-acting bronchodilator. It is responsible for relaxing and opening the airways to the lungs, aiding the individual in breathing more comfortably. 

Together, these two ingredients provide a comprehensive approach to managing the symptoms of conditions like asthma and COPD.

Is Seroflo the same as Seretide?

No, although similar Seroflo and Seretide are not exactly the same. Seroflo and Seretide are very similar in that they both contain the same active ingredients – fluticasone propionate and salmeterol. The difference between them mainly lies in the branding; they are marketed under different names by different companies. Thus, Seroflo and Seretide function in similar ways, and might be considered therapeutic equivalents.

Sereflo Dosage & Usage

Sereflo dosage

The specific dosage of Seroflo varies depending on the patient's condition and the severity of symptoms. The standard dose for adults and adolescents over 12 years of age is two puffs from the Seroflo inhaler twice a day. However, it's essential to follow the exact dosage instructions given by a healthcare professional.

Can I take Seroflo every day?

Yes, Seroflo is designed for regular use and must be taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Consistent use helps maintain open airways and prevent asthma or COPD symptoms. However, it is important not to exceed the prescribed dosage, as it might lead to adverse effects.

How do I use Sereflo?

To use Seroflo, one must first remove the cap from the mouthpiece of the inhaler. Breathe out as far as is comfortable, then place the mouthpiece in the mouth, with the lips creating a tight seal around it. As one begins to breathe in slowly and deeply, press down on the top of the inhaler to release a dose of the medication. Continue to breathe in as slowly as possible until the lungs are full, then hold the breath for about ten seconds, or as long as is comfortable.

What should I do if I miss a dose or overdose on Seroflo?

In case of a missed dose, one must take it as soon as they remember. However, if it's close to the time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue with the regular schedule. One must not double dose to make up for the missed one.

If an overdose is suspected, it's crucial to seek medical help immediately. Overdosing on Seroflo might lead to serious complications like a fast or irregular heartbeat, weakness, shakiness or palpitations.

Is Seroflo suitable for children and the elderly?

Seroflo is not suitable for children under 12 years of age and may cause complications in some elderly people, following recommendations from a healthcare provider. Seroflo is generally safe for use by the elderly under the guidance of a healthcare professional, however, it's worth noting that the elderly might be more susceptible to side effects.

As for children, the use of Seroflo must be determined by a healthcare professional. Children under 12 years must not usually use Seroflo, but it is potentially prescribed in specific circumstances. It's crucial to follow all dosage instructions carefully to ensure the medication is used safely and effectively.

Sereflo Side Effects & Considerations

What are the side effects of Sereflo?

Like any medication, Sereflo might cause side effects, however, not everyone experiences them. Some common side effects include headaches, a sore throat or throat irritation, and thrush in the mouth and throat. Less common side effects encompass muscle cramps, palpitations, or an unexpected increase in wheezing or shortness of breath immediately after using the inhaler. It is important to note that these are typically transient and might disappear as the body adjusts to the medication.

Who should not use Seroflo?

Individuals with certain conditions must avoid using Sereflo, conditions include hypersensitivity to fluticasone, salmeterol, or any component of the inhaler. People with severe liver disease, tuberculosis, viral, fungal, or other untreated infections must consult a healthcare professional before starting on Seroflo.

Can Seroflo cause an allergic reaction? What are the signs?

Yes, like all medicines, Seroflo might cause allergic reactions in some individuals, though it is rare. Signs of an allergic reaction include a rash, itching or hives on the skin, swelling of the face, lips, tongue or other parts of the body, shortness of breath, wheezing or difficulty breathing. If any of these signs are noticed after using Seroflo, medical attention must be sought immediately.

Is Seroflo a steroid inhaler?

Yes, Seroflo is a combination inhaler that contains fluticasone propionate, which is a type of steroid. Fluticasone propionate helps to reduce inflammation in the lungs.

Can Seroflo be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

The use of Seroflo during pregnancy or while breastfeeding must only occur if the benefit outweighs the potential risk to the baby and as recommended by a provider. A healthcare professional must be consulted before using the medication if one is pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Does Seroflo have any effects on driving or operating heavy machinery?

No, Seroflo is not typically known to impair one's ability to drive or operate heavy machinery. However, as with any medication, it's recommended to see how one reacts to Seroflo before undertaking these activities. If a person experiences side effects like dizziness or blurred vision, they must avoid these activities until such side effects subside.

How do I buy Sereflo online?

Start by searching for the medication on the pharmacy website, then select the desired quantity and strength, and add it to the shopping cart.

Sereflo Alternatives

Alternatives to the Seroflo 250 inhaler are those that contain the same active ingredients: fluticasone and salmeterol, including Seretide, Advair, and AirFluSal Forspiro. However, discussing with a healthcare professional before changing medications is always recommended.

Trimethoprim is commonly prescribed to treat urinary tract infections, a prevalent health issue affecting the urinary system. This medication is effective against a range of bacterial infections, notably those affecting the urinary and respiratory tracts. Trimethoprim works by targeting and inhibiting a substance called folic acid, which is crucial for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. By disrupting the production of folic acid, Trimethoprim hinders the development of bacteria, thereby helping to clear infections.

While it's primarily known for its effectiveness in treating urinary tract infections, it's also used for certain types of respiratory tract infections. However, like any medication, the safety of Trimethoprim for an individual depends on various factors including their overall health, other medications they may be taking, and their specific medical history. It's important to consult a healthcare professional to determine if Trimethoprim is a safe and appropriate treatment option.

Are there any foods that should be avoided when taking Sereflo?

We recommend you read the patient information leaflet for this product thoroughly before taking the treatment. This is essential to understanding any interactions that can occur and to take the medication safely.

Typically, it is recommended to avoid alcohol while taking the medication or other antibiotics, please consult your doctor for more guidance.

Can I buy Sereflo from Boots?

It is generally possible to purchase medication, including Sereflo200mg, from UK pharmacies like Boots.

Can I buy Sereflo from Superdrug?

If you would like to buy Sereflo, you will need to check availability on the Superdrug website.

Can I buy Sereflo from Amazon?

Amazon does not sell medication such as Sereflo, as they are not a pharmacy service provider. Always check with Amazon to see what they sell.

How long does Sereflo take to work?

The time it takes for a Sereflo 200mg to work can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as the strength, the individual's age, weight, and overall health, as well as any potential interactions with other medications or substances. Generally, the effects of Sereflo may be noticeable within the time frame outlined by the prescribing pharmacist. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions provided by your healthcare professional, and to consult them if you have any concerns or questions about the medication's efficacy or possible side effects.

How effective is Sereflo?

The effectiveness of Sereflo 200mg can vary significantly depending on various factors, such as the dosage, the condition being treated, the individual's age, weight, and overall health, as well as the presence of any other medications or substances that might interact with it. While some medications may be highly effective for certain individuals and conditions, others might experience a lesser degree of benefit or may require adjustments to the dosage or additional treatments to achieve the desired results.

  1. Read the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL): Every medication comes with a Patient Information Leaflet, which provides essential details about the drug, its uses, and potential side effects.

It's important to understand the possible side effects of a medication and how to manage them. The NHS has a helpful resource on managing medication side effects, while also speaking to a healthcare professional is important in understanding any potential risks of taking Sereflo.
  3. Interactions with other medications: Some medications may interact with others, leading to increased side effects or reduced effectiveness. Make sure to inform your healthcare professional about all the medications and supplements you are currently taking. The NHS offers a useful tool for checking potential drug interactions here.
  4. Contraindications and precautions: Certain medical conditions or factors may make it unsafe for you to take a particular medication. Before starting any new medication, inform your healthcare professional about your medical history and any current health issues. The NHS provides more information about contraindications and precautions here.

Additional Information on Trimethoprim 200mg

Trimethoprim 200mg, the usual dose, is a potent antibiotic primarily used to treat bacterial infections, particularly those related to urinary infections such as cystitis. This medication operates by inhibiting the bacterial production of a vital substance, folic acid, thereby preventing the growth and spread of the infection.

While it is highly effective in managing urinary tract infections, it's essential to be aware of certain precautions. Individuals with severe liver problems, or blood disorders, should consult their healthcare provider before using Trimethoprim, as it may not be the safest option for them. Additionally, it's a common misconception that cranberry juice can treat urine infections; however, while it may help alleviate cystitis symptoms by preventing bacteria from adhering to the bladder walls, it should not replace medical treatment with antibiotics like Trimethoprim.

As with any antibiotic, it's crucial to complete the full course as prescribed, even if symptoms improve, to effectively treat bacterial infections and prevent antibiotic resistance.

What type of inhaler is Sereflo?

Sereflo is a daily preventer and combination inhaler as it should be used every day to prevent and treat symptoms of asthma.

Can you use Sereflo if you are pregnant or breastfeeding?

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine. 

When should you not take Sereflo?

Talk to your doctor before using Sereflo if you have:
