Salmeterol (50mg), Fluticasone (250mg)

May 01, 2023

Introduction

INH AIRFLOW 250 is a clinically proven inhalation therapy that provides powerful and long-lasting relief in the treatment of asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). This advanced formulation combines two potent ingredients—Salmeterol (50mg) and Fluticasone (250mg)—to effectively control airway inflammation and prevent respiratory symptoms like shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing, and coughing.

As a combination inhaler, INH AIRFLOW 250 targets both bronchoconstriction and airway inflammation, offering dual protection for patients with persistent respiratory conditions. Whether you’re managing mild to moderate asthma or long-term COPD, this inhaler can play a vital role in your daily respiratory management plan.

Key Features and Ingredients

INH AIRFLOW 250 is built around two main components that work together to provide effective respiratory support:

Salmeterol (50mg)

A long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA), Salmeterol works by relaxing the muscles in the airways. This action helps to keep the airways open, reducing shortness of breath and preventing asthma or COPD attacks. It offers up to 12 hours of bronchodilation, making it ideal for maintenance therapy.

Fluticasone (250mg)

Fluticasone is a potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, swelling, and irritation within the lungs. It helps in preventing asthma symptoms and controlling COPD exacerbations by targeting the root cause—inflammation of the airways.

Together, Salmeterol (50mg) and Fluticasone (250mg) deliver a comprehensive solution for controlling both the mechanical and inflammatory aspects of chronic respiratory disorders.

Usage of INH AIRFLOW 250

INH AIRFLOW 250 should be used regularly, not just when symptoms appear. It is intended as a maintenance inhaler and not for immediate relief during an acute asthma or COPD attack.

Recommended Dosage

The usual dose is one inhalation twice daily, preferably at the same times each day—morning and evening.

Instructions for Use

  • Shake the inhaler well before use

  • Exhale fully to empty the lungs

  • Place the mouthpiece between your lips and inhale deeply while pressing the canister

  • Hold your breath for 10 seconds, then exhale slowly

  • Rinse your mouth with water after each use to prevent fungal infections

Important Notes

  • Do not exceed the prescribed dose

  • Not suitable for acute asthma attacks

  • Use a spacer device if prescribed

  • Store in a cool, dry place

Benefits of INH AIRFLOW 250

INH AIRFLOW 250 offers several advantages for those suffering from chronic respiratory conditions:

Improved Lung Function
This inhaler helps expand the bronchial tubes, making it easier for air to move in and out of the lungs, thereby improving overall lung function.

Reduction in Symptoms
With consistent use, patients experience fewer episodes of shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness. It greatly reduces the frequency of asthma and COPD flare-ups.

Enhanced Quality of Life
By maintaining better control over symptoms, patients can engage in daily activities with confidence and without fear of sudden respiratory issues.

Lower Hospitalization Risk
Effective control of asthma and COPD symptoms leads to fewer emergency visits and hospitalizations.

Dual Action Therapy
The combination of Salmeterol (50mg) and Fluticasone (250mg) offers a synergistic approach to managing chronic airway diseases, addressing both airway constriction and inflammation in one treatment.

Long-Lasting Relief
Its twice-daily usage ensures consistent symptom control throughout the day and night, reducing the need for rescue inhalers.
