Salmeterol 120mcg Inhaler
Composition:
Each actuation of the inhaler delivers Salmeterol Xinafoate 120mcg.
Indications:
Salmeterol 120mcg Inhaler is indicated for the long-term management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is used as a maintenance treatment to help prevent bronchospasm and reduce the frequency of asthma attacks or exacerbations in COPD. This medication is generally prescribed for patients whose asthma or COPD is not adequately controlled by short-acting bronchodilators or for those requiring additional bronchodilator therapy to manage symptoms effectively.
Mechanism of Action:
Salmeterol is a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) that works by selectively stimulating the beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the smooth muscle of the airways. This stimulation leads to bronchodilation, which relaxes the airway muscles and widens the air passages, making it easier to breathe. Salmeterol provides bronchodilation that lasts up to 12 hours, helping to control symptoms of wheezing, shortness of breath, and tightness in the chest associated with asthma and COPD.
Dosage:
The typical dose of Salmeterol 120mcg Inhaler for asthma and COPD is one inhalation (120mcg) twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. It is important that the inhaler is used regularly as prescribed to maintain effective control of symptoms. Salmeterol should not be used for the relief of acute symptoms of asthma or COPD; it is intended for long-term maintenance therapy only.
Packaging:
Salmeterol 120mcg Inhaler is available in a 120-dose inhaler, containing 120 actuations per device. The inhaler should be kept in the protective cover when not in use and used with the correct technique for proper drug delivery.
