R/C AIRFLOW 100 

Salmeterol (50mcg), Fluticasone (100mcg)

R/C AIRFLOW 100 is a combination inhaler that delivers two potent medications, Salmeterol (50mcg) and Fluticasone (100mcg), designed to manage and treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This dual-action inhaler offers both long-acting bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory effects, which are crucial for maintaining respiratory function and alleviating symptoms associated with these chronic conditions. This article delves into the details of R/C AIRFLOW 100, including its uses, dosage, side effects, and other essential information.

What is R/C AIRFLOW 100?

R/C AIRFLOW 100 is an inhalation aerosol that combines two active ingredients: Salmeterol and Fluticasone. Salmeterol is a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA), while Fluticasone is a corticosteroid. Together, they provide comprehensive management of respiratory conditions by addressing both inflammation and bronchoconstriction.

Uses of R/C AIRFLOW 100

R/C AIRFLOW 100 is primarily used to treat and manage:

1. Asthma: It helps in controlling asthma symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. The combination of Salmeterol and Fluticasone reduces inflammation and opens up the airways, making breathing easier.

2. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): For individuals with COPD, R/C AIRFLOW 100 helps in improving lung function and reducing symptoms like persistent cough and breathlessness.

How Does R/C AIRFLOW 100 Work?

• Salmeterol (50mcg): As a long-acting beta-agonist, Salmeterol works by stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the lungs, leading to relaxation of the smooth muscles around the airways. This action results in prolonged bronchodilation, helping to keep the airways open.

• Fluticasone (100mcg): Fluticasone(100 mcg) is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation in the airways. It inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators, thereby decreasing swelling and mucus production, which helps to ease breathing.

Dosage and Administration

R/C AIRFLOW 100 should be used as prescribed by a healthcare provider. The typical dosage is:

• Adults: One inhalation twice daily (morning and evening).
• Children (over 12 years): One inhalation twice daily, depending on the severity of the condition and the doctor's recommendation.

The inhaler should be used regularly, even when the patient feels well, to maintain control over asthma or COPD symptoms. It’s important to follow the prescribed dosage and not exceed it, as overuse can lead to side effects and reduced effectiveness of the medication.

Side Effects of R/C AIRFLOW 100

Common side effects include:

• Throat Irritation: Mild irritation or sore throat may occur. Using a spacer device and rinsing the mouth after inhalation can help minimize this.

• Hoarseness: Changes in voice or hoarseness can happen due to the corticosteroid component.

• Headache: Some users may experience headaches.

• Increased Risk of Infection: Prolonged use of corticosteroids may increase the risk of respiratory infections.

• Tremors and Palpitations: Salmeterol may cause tremors or palpitations in some individuals.

Serious side effects are rare but can include severe allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, or swelling, and symptoms of adrenal insufficiency (e.g., extreme fatigue, muscle weakness). 

Precautions and Warnings

Before using R/C AIRFLOW 100, it is essential to inform the healthcare provider of any existing conditions, including:

• Heart Disease: Since Salmeterol can affect heart rate and rhythm, patients with heart conditions should use this medication with caution.

• Diabetes: Corticosteroids like Fluticasone can affect blood sugar levels.

R/C AIRFLOW 100 is not intended for the immediate relief of acute asthma attacks or COPD symptoms. A rescue inhaler (short-acting beta-agonist) should be used for such emergencies.

Price and Availability

R/C AIRFLOW 100 is available by prescription and can be obtained at pharmacies. The price may vary depending on the location and the pharmacy. On average, the cost of R/C AIRFLOW 100 ranges from INR 450 to INR 650 for a month's supply, but prices may differ based on the region and insurance coverage.
