Seretide Evohaler 25/125 - 120 Doses

Seretide Evohaler 25/125 is a long-term maintenance inhaler used for the effective management of asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Known commonly as the "purple inhaler" in Nigeria, it is a combination therapy designed to provide dual-action relief by treating both airway constriction and inflammation.

This inhaler contains two active ingredients:

• Salmeterol (25mcg): A long-acting bronchodilator (LABA) that helps keep the airways open for up to 12 hours.
• Fluticasone Propionate (125mcg): A corticosteroid that reduces swelling and irritation in the lungs.

Key Benefits for Respiratory Health

• Preventative Care: Regular use helps prevent asthma attacks and reduces daily symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath.
• Dual-Action Treatment: Simultaneously opens airways and targets the underlying inflammation.
• Improved Breathing: Helps patients lead a more active life by maintaining clear airways throughout the day and night.
• Metered Doses: Each device provides exactly 120 puffs (actuations) for consistent medication delivery.

How to Use Your Seretide Inhaler Correctly

For the best results, use your inhaler every day, even when you feel fine.

1. Prepare: Remove the mouthpiece cover and shake the inhaler vigorously.
2. Exhale: Breathe out as much as is comfortable.
3. Inhale: Place the mouthpiece in your mouth. Start to breathe in slowly and deeply while pressing down on the canister to release a puff.
4. Hold: Hold your breath for about 10 seconds (or as long as comfortable) to allow the medicine to settle in your lungs.
5. Repeat: If your doctor prescribed two puffs, wait about 30 seconds before repeating the steps.
6. Rinse: Crucial Step: Always rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after use. This helps prevent oral thrush (mouth sores).

Important Safety Information

• NOT for Emergency Use: Seretide is a "preventer" inhaler. It will not work quickly enough to stop a sudden asthma attack. You must always have a fast-acting "rescue" inhaler (like Ventolin/Salbutamol) available for emergencies.
• Consistency is Key: Do not stop using Seretide without consulting your doctor, as your symptoms may return.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight.
