Seravent Inhaler 25 mcg/puff contains Salmeterol Xinafoate, a long-acting β2-adrenergic receptor agonist (LABA) used for the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Designed for maintenance therapy, this inhaler helps patients achieve prolonged bronchodilation, easing breathing difficulties, reducing wheezing, and preventing nighttime symptoms and exacerbations.

Salmeterol Xinafoate works by relaxing the smooth muscles lining the airways, ensuring that the bronchi remain open for an extended period. Unlike short-acting bronchodilators, Seravent provides lasting symptom control for up to 12 hours, making it suitable for twice-daily use. This inhaler is a valuable option for patients whose asthma or COPD symptoms are not fully controlled by inhaled corticosteroids alone.

Composition

• Salmeterol Xinafoate 25 mcg per puff

Mechanism of Action

Seravent Inhaler acts through long-acting bronchodilation:

• Binds to β2-adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscles

• Activates adenylate cyclase, increasing cyclic AMP levels

• Relaxes airway smooth muscles, leading to bronchodilation

• Improves airflow and reduces airway resistance

• Provides prolonged relief from bronchospasm, helping prevent nocturnal symptoms

By maintaining open airways, Salmeterol Xinafoate allows patients to breathe more comfortably, engage in physical activities, and experience better quality of life.

Indications

Seravent Inhaler 25 mcg/puff is indicated for:

• Prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm (when used prior to activity, as advised by a physician)

• Patients whose symptoms are inadequately controlled with inhaled corticosteroids alone

It is important to note that Seravent is not suitable for relief of acute asthma attacks; a short-acting bronchodilator should be used for sudden breathing difficulties.
