* This product is sent with 1 FREE Rotahaler for use in conjunction with Seroflo Rotacaps.

Uses
Seroflo Rotacaps (Salmeterol/Fluticasone) contains two active ingredients, which work together to manage asthma and other lung diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis and emphysema). Fluticasone is a type of corticosteroid medication which works by preventing the production of chemicals that cause inflammation of the lungs. Preventing inflammation in the lungs helps to prevent breathing difficulties. This product also contains Salmeterol, which is known as a long acting beta agonist. It helps to open up the airways so that it is easier to breathe. The effects of this ingredient can last up to 12 hours, which makes it effective at controlling asthma and other related conditions.

Dosage and Administration
Seroflo Rotacaps (Salmeterol/Fluticasone) is administered via inhalation. This allows the medication to go directly to the lungs, where it is required. You must visit your doctor for a medical consultation prior to using this medication, so that the correct dosage can be prescribed. Only administer the prescribed dose. Adult patients are sometimes told to take it twice per day. Generally, one dose is taken in the morning, and the other dose is taken in the evening, 12 hours after the first dose.
