Serevent Evohaler Inhaler

Serevent Evohaler for Asthma & Breathing Problems

Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are 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.

The Serevent Evohaler is a long-acting bronchodilator that helps to keep the airways in the lungs open. This medication is prescribed to those who have breathing problems. If you have asthma, this medication can help to prevent asthma attacks.

The Serevent Evohaler is a preventative inhaler. This is not a reliever or rescue inhaler. 

What is a Serevent Evohaler and how does it work?

Serevent contains the active ingredient salmeterol which is known as a long-acting bronchodilator. A bronchodilator is a medication that relaxes the muscles in the lungs and widens the airways which aid in preventing asthma or COPD attacks as it allows for more air to pass through so that you can breathe more. This medication is intended for when breathlessness or wheezing is started to come along, not for when you are already breathless and wheezy. 

Serevent Evohaler contains norflurane which makes it typically less harmful to the environment than previous inhaler models. The Serevent Evohaler may also taste slightly different from other inhalers, however, this doesn't make a difference to how your medicine works.

Is a Serevent Evohaler right for me?

• If you are allergic to salmeterol or any other ingredients in this medicine
• If you are currently being treated for any fungal infections
• If you are taking beta blockers
• If you are on medication for high blood pressure
