Seretide 50Mcg/100Mcg Accuhaler

• Seretide 50/100 Accuhaler is a combination drug that relieves symptoms like shortness of breath, tightness in chest, wheezing, coughing etc. that occur in case of asthma.
• This medicine should not be given to patients under 4 years old. It is used to manage asthma but does not work for sudden, severe asthma attacks.

 

What is Seretide used for?

Seretide Accuhaler 100/50 is a combination preventer drug for reversible obstructive airways disease. This combination therapy is for long-term asthma management in adults and children.

• Using a corticosteroid and a bronchodilator
• Patients with asthma who use inhaled corticosteroids but still have symptoms
• The use of a bronchodilator starting with a short-acting beta-agonist, as an alternative to using higher doses of corticosteroid.

Seretide Accuhaler 100/50 is inappropriate for relieving a severe asthma attack because the dose of the corticosteroid medication is not high enough.

Seretide Accuhaler 100/50 also treats moderate to severe COPD requiring a beta-agonist (bronchodilator) but with enduring symptoms.

Seretide Accuhaler 100/50 is a combination of medications that work together to allow better control of asthma to prevent symptoms, prevent exacerbations of asthma or COPD, and improve lung function.

 

How does Seretide work?

• Seretide Accuhaler 100/50, on the other hand, contains a combination of two medications with different modes of action used for controlling reversible obstructive airways disease in asthma and COPD.
• Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid and ant-inflammatory drug that blocks one of the underlying mechanisms of asthma, Inflammation, by interfering with the release of the chemicals involved in Inflammation in the airways after contact with an asthma trigger such as an allergens or irritants in the air.
• This minimizes airway inflammation and swelling. Salmeterol xinafoate is a long-acting beta2-agonist and bronchodilator that helps to relax the muscles of the small airways of the lungs – bronchioles – in order to increase the diameter of the airways.
• This loosens bronchospasm, providing relief of the chest tightness, wheezing and dyspnea for up to 12 hours. The combination of fluticasone and salmeterol enhances lung function while relieving asthma symptoms and exacerbations.
