Uses / Indications:
Stops and regulates asthma symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
Keeps the airways open and reduces swelling in them.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD):
Helps with symptoms like shortness of breath, mucous accumulation, and tiredness.
It improves the quality of life and enhances the function of the lungs.
Avoiding bronchospasm:
Used to stop the muscles in the bronchi from tightening in people with long-term breathing problems.
Lessening of airway inflammation:
Reduces long-term swelling in the airways that makes it difficult to breathe.
Therapy for Maintenance:
This is a daily preventive treatment for asthma and COPD that helps keep them under control over the long term and lowers the chance of severe attacks.
Pregnancy interaction:
Safety Status: Pregnant women should be careful when using Seroflo 100 Rotacap. There isn't much clinical research on how it affects pregnant women.
Possible Risk: Studies on animals have revealed that large doses could be detrimental for embryonic development. However, inhaled corticosteroids like fluticasone are usually better than oral steroids because they don't get absorbed as much into the body.
Doctor's Advice: Pregnant women should only use this medicine if the possible benefits are greater than the possible risks. You should only use the lowest effective dose under the care of a doctor.
Breastfeeding: Fluticasone and salmeterol may get into breast milk in small doses. It's advisable to talk to your doctor before using it, even though it probably won't hurt the baby.
Expert advice:
For the right technique to inhale, always use Seroflo Rotacap with a Rotahaler.
The capsule is only for inhalation, so don't consume it.
After each pill, rinse your mouth and gargle with plain water.
You need to use it every day, even if you don't have any symptoms.
For emergency attacks, always have a short-acting inhaler (like salbutamol) on hand.
Don't stop taking it all at once without talking to your doctor first.
Keep the capsule in a cool, dry area so it doesn't get wet.
Call your doctor right away if your breathing or chest discomfort gets worse.

Before putting the mouthpiece in your mouth, breathe out all the way.
Take deep, steady breaths through the mouthpiece.

Use it every day at the same time for optimal effects.
How it works:
Seroflo 100 Rotacap has two active substances that work together to give long-lasting relief from breathing problems:
Fluticasone Propionate (100 mcg) is a corticosteroid that lowers edema, irritation, and mucus production in the airways. This helps keep asthma episodes from happening often and makes breathing easier.
Salmeterol (50 mcg): This medication is a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways, keeping them open for 12 hours or more.
They work together to keep the airways open and stop asthma or COPD symptoms, including wheezing, coughing, and trouble breathing.
Faq for medicine:
Q1. What does Seroflo 100 Rotacap do?
A. It is used to help control and prevent symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and tightness in the chest.
Q2. Can Seroflo 100 Rotacap halt an asthma attack?
A. No. It's not an inhaler for rescue. It is meant to stop symptoms from happening, not to provide quick relief during an asthma attack.
Q3. How long does it take to see results?
A. You might notice that your breathing becomes better after a few days, but you won't see the full advantages until you've used it regularly for 1–2 weeks.
Q4. Is it safe for kids to use Seroflo 100?
A. It can be given to kids over 4 years old, but the pediatrician must provide specific instructions on how much and how often to give it.
Q5. What should I do if I forget to take a dose?
A. Take it as soon as you recall. Don't double the dose if it's close to the next planned dose. Just skip the one you missed.
Q6. Is it permitted to use it with other inhalers?
A. Yes, but only if a doctor is watching. If your doctor thinks it's necessary, they may give you a quick-relief (rescue) inhaler along with it.
Q7. Should I keep taking Seroflo even if I'm feeling better?
A. Yes. It is a long-term maintenance drug that helps keep symptoms under control. Stopping all of a sudden can make your situation worse.
Q8. Would it be possible for it to induce an infection in the mouth?
A. Yes, using it for a long time can cause oral thrush, which is a fungal illness. It can assist in rinsing your mouth after each use.
