About Seroflo 500 Rotacaps
Seroflo 500mcg Rotacaps is a respiratory medication, primarily used to treat and prevent respiratory disorders like asthma attacks and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes).
Seroflo 500 Rotacaps is a combination of two medicines, namely: Salmeterol (bronchodilator) and Fluticasone. Salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator. It is a β₂ adrenergic receptor agonist that relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. Salmeterol makes breathing easier by widening the airways. Fluticasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It acts by blocking prostaglandins’ production (chemical messengers) that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways.
Seroflo 500 Rotacaps is available in the form of an inhaler, autohaler, rotacap/transcaps/instacaps/capsules, and rotadisk. Your doctor will advise on how often you take Seroflo 500 Rotacaps based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Seroflo 500 Rotacaps include nausea, vomiting, respiratory tract infection, headache, sore throat, cough, bone, muscle or joint pain, increased heart rate, chills, black or tarry stools, and noisy breathing. Most of these side effects of Seroflo 500 Rotacaps do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own. Brief your medical history if you have heart, liver, kidney diseases, hypokalaemia (low potassium levels in the blood), hyperadrenocorticism (high levels of cortisol), eye disorders like cataract and glaucoma, seizure (fits), osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), and diabetes before taking Seroflo 500 Rotacaps. Therapy with nasal or inhaled corticosteroids like Fluticasone should be cautiously administered in patients with a fungal, bacterial, parasitic, or viral infection and tuberculosis since there are chances of developing a secondary infection. Please check with your doctor if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding, or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines.
