SEROFLO ROTACAPS 500 – 1 BOTTLE OF 30 CAPSULE

SEROFLO ROTACAPS 500 offers a higher concentration of Fluticasone Propionate, making it an effective choice for patients with severe respiratory conditions. This combination inhaler works by relaxing the airway muscles and reducing inflammation, providing long-term control over asthma and COPD. The elevated dose is particularly beneficial for patients who have not responded adequately to lower-dose treatments, ensuring better management of chronic symptoms and reducing the frequency of exacerbations.

Usage Instructions:

• Dosage: Inhale one rotacap of SEROFLO 500 twice daily or as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
• Administration: Insert the rotacap into the inhaler device, and inhale deeply through the mouthpiece to ensure proper delivery of medication.
• Consistency: For optimal results, use the inhaler consistently as directed, even when symptoms improve.

Medicinal Advantages:

• High Potency: Contains 500mcg of Fluticasone Propionate for maximum anti-inflammatory effects.
• Dual Action: Combines Salmeterol, a long-acting bronchodilator, with Fluticasone, reducing both bronchoconstriction and inflammation.
• Exacerbation Prevention: Effectively reduces the risk of asthma and COPD exacerbations, improving lung function and quality of life.

Mechanism of Action:

SEROFLO ROTACAPS 500 works by leveraging the combined effects of Salmeterol and Fluticasone Propionate. Salmeterol relaxes the smooth muscles around the airways, preventing them from narrowing. Fluticasone Propionate reduces inflammation by inhibiting multiple types of inflammatory cells and cytokines, decreasing airway swelling and mucus production. This dual approach ensures comprehensive management of asthma and COPD, making it easier to breathe and reducing the need for rescue inhalers.

Off-Label Uses:

SEROFLO ROTACAPS 500 may be used off-label for other inflammatory respiratory conditions where high-dose corticosteroid therapy is beneficial, though this should be done under medical supervision.

Expert Advice:

• Proper Technique: Ensure correct usage of the inhaler to achieve the full therapeutic effect.
• Regular Monitoring: Have regular check-ups with your healthcare provider to monitor lung function and adjust dosage if necessary.
• Oral Hygiene: Rinse your mouth after each use to prevent potential side effects like oral thrush.

Precautions:

1. Not for Acute Relief: SEROFLO ROTACAPS 500 is not intended for immediate relief of asthma attacks; a short-acting bronchodilator should be used for emergencies.
2. High Steroid Dose: Be mindful of the higher steroid dosage, which may increase the risk of systemic side effects; consult your doctor regularly.
3. Pre-existing Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have a history of infections, osteoporosis, or eye problems before starting treatment.

Storage Conditions:

• Temperature: Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Packaging: Keep the rotacaps in their original packaging to protect from environmental exposure.
