R/C AIR-FLOW 250

Salmeterol (25mcg), Fluticasone (500mcg)

R/C AIR-FLOW 250 is a combination inhaler containing Salmeterol (25mcg) and Fluticasone (500mcg). This medication is widely used for managing respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The dual action of Salmeterol, a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA), and Fluticasone, a corticosteroid, provides both symptomatic relief and long-term control of inflammation.

Uses

Asthma Management

The symptoms of asthma, a long-term inflammatory illness of the airways, include coughing, chest tightness, wheezing, and dyspnea. The R/C AIR-FLOW 250 reduces asthma symptoms by:

  • Reducing airway inflammation.
  • Relaxing bronchial muscles.
  • Preventing asthma attacks when used regularly.

COPD Management

Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are included in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Airflow restriction and enduring respiratory discomfort are its defining characteristics. The R/C AIR-FLOW 250 works well in:

  • Improving lung function.
  • Reducing the frequency of exacerbations.
  • Alleviating symptoms like chronic cough and breathlessness.

Dosage

The dosage of R/C AIR-FLOW 250 should be individualized based on the severity of the condition and patient response. Typically, it is administered as follows:

How to Use

  1. Preparation: Shake the inhaler well before use.
