R/C AIRFLOW 500 

Salmeterol (50mcg), Fluticasone (500mcg)

R/C AIRFLOW 500 is a combination inhaler that contains two active ingredients: Salmeterol (50mcg) and Fluticasone (500mcg). This combination is widely used in the management of chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Salmeterol is a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) that helps to relax the muscles in the airways, while Fluticasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling. Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to maintaining open airways and reducing symptoms in patients with chronic respiratory conditions.

Uses

R/C AIRFLOW 500 is primarily used for:

• Asthma Management: This inhaler helps control and prevent asthma symptoms by keeping the airways open and reducing inflammation. It is suitable for patients who require both a long-acting bronchodilator and an inhaled corticosteroid.

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): In patients with COPD, R/C AIRFLOW 500 helps to manage symptoms such as breathlessness and wheezing, and reduces the frequency of exacerbations.

The combined action of Salmeterol and Fluticasone in R/C AIRFLOW 500 makes it an effective maintenance therapy for chronic respiratory conditions, helping patients maintain better control over their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Dosage

A medical expert should calculate the dosage of R/C AIRFLOW 500 based on each patient's unique needs. One puff, inhaled twice a day, generally in the morning and evening, is the standard dosage. It is imperative to adhere to the recommended dosage and not go over it without first seeing a doctor.

• Adults and Adolescents (12 years and older): One puff (50mcg of Salmeterol and 500mcg of Fluticasone) twice daily.

• Children (under 12 years): The safety and efficacy of R/C AIRFLOW 500 in children under 12 years have not been established, and its use in this age group should be under strict medical supervision.

How to Use

Using the R/C AIRFLOW 500 inhaler correctly is essential to ensure the medication is delivered effectively to the lungs. Here are the steps:

1. Preparation: Shake the inhaler well before use.
2. Exhale completely, then insert the mouthpiece into your mouth and seal your lips around it. Press the canister to release the drug and take a deep breath. Ten seconds of holding your breath will help the drug get into your lungs.
3. Repeat: If you need to take another puff, wait for around 30 seconds before doing so.
4. Rinse: Rinse your mouth with water after inhaling the medication to prevent oral thrush, a common side effect of inhaled corticosteroids.

Side Effects

Like all medications, R/C AIRFLOW 500 may cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Common side effects include:

• Throat Irritation: Some patients may experience throat irritation or hoarseness.
• Oral Thrush: Inhaled corticosteroids can cause a fungal infection in the mouth, known as oral thrush. Rinsing the mouth after use can help prevent this.
• Tremors and Palpitations: Salmeterol may cause mild tremors or palpitations in some patients.

Serious side effects are rare but can occur.

• Allergic Reactions: Signs include rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and difficulty breathing.
• Infections: Signs of infection such as fever, persistent sore throat, or flu-like symptoms.

Precautions

Before using R/C AIRFLOW 500, inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you have, including:

• Allergies: Inform your doctor if you have any allergies, particularly to Salmeterol, Fluticasone, or any other medications.
• Medical History: Conditions such as high blood pressure, heart problems, thyroid disorders, diabetes, or infections should be discussed with your doctor.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: The safety of this medication during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not well-established. 

Drug Interactions

R/C AIRFLOW 500 may interact with other medications, potentially altering its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.

• Beta-Blockers: These can reduce the effectiveness of Salmeterol.
• Diuretics: These may increase the risk of low potassium levels when used with Salmeterol.
• Other Steroids: Taking other corticosteroids may increase the risk of side effects.

Storage

Store R/C AIRFLOW 500 at room temperature, away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom.
