✔️ How does Seraflo 50/250 work?

Seraflo 50/250 is a combination of two medicines, namely, fluticasone and salbutamol. Fluticasone is an inhalation corticosteroid. It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the airways (such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes) that cause inflammation and swelling.

Salmeterol is a bronchodilator. It relaxes the smooth muscles of the airways and widens them. Collectively, they reduce airway inflammation, allow the air to pass through more freely, and make breathing easier.
