Description:

Seroflo 250 Inhaler is a combination inhaler used for the treatment and long-term management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains:

• Fluticasone Propionate (250 mcg) – A corticosteroid that reduces airway inflammation and swelling.

This dual-action inhaler helps in preventing asthma attacks and reducing COPD symptoms, improving lung function over time.

✔ Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
✔ Prevention of wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness
✔ Reduces airway inflammation and enhances airflow
