Seroflo Inhaler

Seroflo Inhaler 120 MD – Uses, Benefits & Important Information

Seroflo Inhaler 120 MD is a combination inhaler used to help relieve airway tightening, shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing, and persistent cough. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as asthma, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), and exercise-induced bronchospasm, helping patients breathe more comfortably.

How Seroflo Inhaler 120 MD Works

Seroflo contains two active ingredients — Salmeterol and Fluticasone — which work together to improve breathing and reduce inflammation.

Salmeterol

• A long-acting bronchodilator (beta2-adrenergic agonist)

• Helps relax the smooth muscles of the airways

• Increases cAMP levels, which reduces the release of inflammatory mediators

• Supports easier airflow and helps prevent bronchospasm

Fluticasone

• A corticosteroid

• Reduces swelling and inflammation in the airways

• Blocks the release of inflammatory substances

• Helps control long-term airway sensitivity

This dual-action mechanism provides both rapid relief of airway constriction and long-term management of inflammation.
