Salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that widens the bronchi so that air passage in the lungs is improved.
The effect occurs after 10-20 minutes and lasts for at least 12 hours.
Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid that counteracts mucus formation and swelling in the airways.
This makes it easier to breathe, and if used regularly, symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) will be reduced.
The effect on the inflammation occurs after 4-7 days.
Salmeterol/Fluticasone propionate is used for the maintenance treatment of asthma and COPD when you need both cortisone and a drug that provides long-term dilation of the bronchi.
How to use:
Hold the Evohaler with the mouthpiece facing downwards.
Form a tight seal by placing your lips around the mouthpiece.
Start breathing slowly with your mouth and push down the Evohaler
Remove the Evohaler and breathe normally.
Caution & Warnings:
Do not stop taking this medicine of your own unless advised by your doctor.
Before taking FLUTICASONE+SALMETEROL, let your doctor know if have a history of heart, liver, kidney diseases, hyperadrenocorticism (high levels of cortisol), eye disorders like cataracts and glaucoma, seizure (fits), osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), and diabetes.
FLUTICASONE+SALMETEROL causes hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood), therefore should be used with caution in patients with hypokalemia to prevent any cardiovascular effects.
Special precautions should be taken in patients with a fungal, bacterial, parasitic, or viral infection and tuberculosis since nasal or inhaled corticosteroids like Fluticasone can cause secondary infections.
FLUTICASONE+SALMETEROL can cause a rise in blood glucose levels. Hence monitor your blood glucose levels regularly if you are diabetic.
Please let your doctor know if you plan to become pregnant or are already pregnant and a lactating mother.
Do not drive or operate machinery if you experience drowsiness and increased/uneven heart rate while using FLUTICASONE+SALMETEROL.
Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine as it can worsen your side effects.
