Seretide Accuhaler (Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol) - 100/50 (60 Blisters)

Product Name: Seretide Accuhaler (Advair Diskus)
Drug Name: Salbutamol & Fluticasone

Packaging Type: 60 dose Accuhaler

Manufacturer: GlaxoSmithKline

Use: Seretide (Advair) is used to treat people with asthma and other chest illnesses. The Salmeterol relaxes the muscles in the walls of the small air passages in the lungs. This helps to open the airways and makes it easier for air to get in and out of the lungs. Fluticasone propionate is one of a group of medicines called corticosteriods which are often referred to simply as steroids. Corticosteroids are used to treat breathing problems because they have an anti-inflammatory action. Corticosteroids also help to prevent attacks of asthma.

How to take it: The medicine in the Seretide should be inhaled into your lungs. If you have any difficulties or do not understand the instructions ask your doctor or pharmacist. Seretide must only be breathed in through the mouth. Take your medicine as your doctor has told you. The label on it will usually tell you how much to take and how often (two doses daily for most cases). If you are not sure ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Some people very occasionally find that their mouth, throat or tongue becomes sore or that their voice becomes hoarse after inhaling this medicine.
