New inhaler called Sereflo?

[Jemm_beth99]

Hello everybody. Last weekend I retrieved my prescription from my chemist and had all my items on it which I had asked for. But they called me back into the chemist and said I had a fourth item. When I collected the item it was another inhaler called Sereflo 25/250mg. I had never heard of this never mind have it prescribed to me? Does anybody know what this inhaler is and what it’s used for. Thank you.

SEROFLO Inhaler is indicated in the regular treatment of asthma, where use of a combination (long-acting beta2-agonist and inhaleraled corticosteroid) has been found to be appropriate, and in patients with severe COPD.

SEROFLO Inhaler is a combination of fluticasone propionate, a synthetic corticosteroid, and salmeterol, a selective, long-acting beta2-agonist.

Fluticasone propionate is a synthetic, trifluorinated glucocorticoid with potent anti-inflammatory activity. Salmeterol is a selective, long-acting beta2-adrenoceptor agonist with duration of action of at least 12 hours.

I used to be on seretide and started getting sereflo from the chemist as a replacement. Apparently it's cheaper but same ingredients.
