FAQs

1. Can I stop using Seroflo 250 if I feel better?

Don’t stop using the Seroflo inhaler without consulting with your healthcare provider as it is a preventive medicine and stopping it abruptly can result in a recurrence of symptoms. It is the best practice to ask your physician for a slow step-down approach.

2. Is Seroflo 250 safe for long-term use?

Yes, but under regular supervision. Regular check-ups are what make the treatment of side effects such as oral thrush or adrenal suppression much less likely.

3. Can Seroflo be used during an asthma attack?

No. It cannot be used as such because it is not a rescue inhaler. Instead, take salbutamol (Asthalin) at the time of attack for quicker action.

4. Should I use a spacer with Seroflo 250?

0Yes, absolutely, and even more so for children and older people. In fact, it not only makes the distribution of the drug more effective but also decreases the risk of certain side effects (e.g. oral thrush).

5. What if I miss a dose? 

Take it at the earliest; if you forget your dose then that’s the best time to take it. Just leave the missed dose because the next dose is due. You shouldn’t double your dose.
