Seretide Evohaler – Seretide 125, 120 Doses
Seretide Evohaler is a prescription medication used to treat asthma and COPD. The inhaler contains a combination of two drugs, a corticosteroid and a bronchodilator, that work together to reduce inflammation in the lungs and open the airways.
Seretide Evohaler is considered a first-line treatment for asthma and COPD, and it is typically well tolerated with few side effects. The most common side effect is mild throat irritation. If you experience any severe side effects, please stop using the inhaler and contact your doctor immediately.
If you or a loved one suffers from asthma or COPD, Seretide Evohaler may be able to help improve your quality of
Seretide 125 Evohaler contains two medicines, salmeterol and fluticasone propionate:
• Salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator. Bronchodilators help the airways in the lungs to stay open. This makes it easier for air to get in and out. The effects last for at least 12 hours.
• Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid that reduces swelling and irritation in the lungs.
The doctor has prescribed this medicine to help prevent breathing problems such as asthma.
Seretide Evohaler is a combined corticosteroid and bronchodilator inhaler used to reduce inflammation in the lungs and open the airways in asthma and COPD. They are purple in colour.
You must use Seretide every day as directed by your doctor. This will make sure that it works properly in controlling your asthma.
Seretide is prescribed for people whose asthma isn’t controlled by using a regular preventer inhaler (a corticosteroid) with a reliever inhaler (eg salbutamol) used when needed to open the airways.
Seretide doesn’t cure asthma – it’s used to help manage and control your asthma. Seretide should be used regularly, even when you have no asthma symptoms, to reduce the inflammation in the lungs and to help keep the airways open.
Seretide helps to stop breathlessness and wheeziness coming on.
However, Seretide should not be used to relieve a sudden attack of breathlessness or wheezing. If this happens you need to use a fast-acting ‘reliever’ (‘rescue’) inhaler, such as salbutamol. You should always have your fast-acting ‘rescue’ inhaler with you.
What is Asthma
Asthma is a common lung condition that causes occasional breathing difficulties.
It affects people of all ages and often starts in childhood, although it can also develop for the first time in adults.
There’s currently no cure, but there are simple treatments that can help keep the symptoms under control so it does not have a big impact on your life.
The main symptoms of asthma are:
- a whistling sound when breathing (wheezing)
- breathlessness
- a tight chest, which may feel like a band is tightening around it
- coughing
The symptoms can sometimes get temporarily worse. This is known as an asthma attack.
See a doctor if you think you or your child may have asthma.
Several conditions can cause similar symptoms, so it’s important to get a proper diagnosis and correct treatment.
The doctor will usually be able to diagnose asthma by asking about symptoms and carrying out some simple tests.
Asthma is usually treated by using an inhaler, a small device that lets you breathe in medicines.
The main types are:
- reliever inhalers – used when needed to quickly relieve asthma symptoms for a short time
- preventer inhalers – used every day to prevent asthma symptoms happening
Some people also need to take tablets.
Asthma is caused by swelling (inflammation) of the breathing tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. This makes the tubes highly sensitive, so they temporarily narrow.
It may happen randomly or after exposure to a trigger.
Common asthma triggers include:
- allergies (to house dust mites, animal fur or pollen, for example)
- smoke, pollution and cold air
- exercise
- infections like colds or flu
Identifying and avoiding your asthma triggers can help you keep your symptoms under control.
Asthma is a long-term condition for many people, particularly if it first develops when you’re an adult.
In children, it sometimes goes away or improves during the teenage years, but can come back later in life.
The symptoms can usually be controlled with treatment. Most people will have normal, active lives, although some people with more severe asthma may have ongoing problems.
Although asthma can normally be kept under control, it’s still a serious condition that can cause a number of problems.
This is why it’s important to follow your treatment plan and not ignore your symptoms if they’re getting worse.
Badly controlled asthma can cause problems such as:
- feeling tired all the time
- underperformance at, or absence from, work or school
- stress, anxiety or depression
- disruption of your work and leisure because of unplanned visits to a GP or hospital
- lung infections (pneumonia)
- delays in growth or puberty in children
There’s also a risk of severe asthma attacks, which can be life threatening.

How to Use
How to use Seretide 125 Evohaler
How to use Seretide Evohaler
Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
• Use your Seretide every day, until your doctor advises you to stop. Do not take more than the recommended dose. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
• Do not stop taking Seretide or reduce the dose of Seretide without talking to your doctor first
• Seretide should be inhaled through the mouth into the lungs.
Adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over
• Seretide Evohaler 25/125 – 2 puffs twice a day
Your symptoms may become well controlled using Seretide twice a day. If so, your doctor may decide to reduce your dose to once a day. The dose may change to:
• once at night – if you have night-time symptoms
• once in the morning – if you have daytime symptoms.
It is very important to follow your doctor’s instructions on how many puffs to take and how often to take your medicine.
If you are using Seretide for asthma, your doctor will want to regularly check your symptoms.
If your asthma or breathing gets worse tell your doctor straight away. You may find that you feel more wheezy, your chest feels tight more often or you may need to use more of your fast-acting ‘reliever’ medicine. If any of these happen, you should continue to take Seretide but do not increase the number of puffs you take. Your chest condition may be getting worse and you could become seriously ill. See your doctor as you may need additional treatment.
Instructions for use
• Your doctor, nurse or pharmacist should show you how to use your inhaler. They should check how you use it from time to time. Not using the Seretide Evohaler properly or as prescribed may mean that it will not help your asthma as it should.
• The medicine is contained in a pressurised canister in a plastic casing with a mouthpiece.
• There is a counter on the back of the Evohaler which tells you how many doses are left. Each time you press the canister, a puff of medicine is released and the counter will count down by one.
• Take care not to drop the inhaler as this may cause the counter to count down.

• Overactive thyroid gland
High blood pressure

Other medicines and Seretide
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines including medicines for asthma or any medicines obtained without a prescription. This is because Seretide may not be suitable to be taken with some other medicines.
Tell your doctor if you are taking the following medicines, before starting to use Seretide:
• beta blockers (such as atenolol, propranolol and sotalol). beta blockers are mostly used for high blood pressure or other heart conditions.
• Medicines to treat infections (such as ketoconazole, itraconazole and erythromycin) including some medicines for HIV treatment (such as ritonavir, cobicistat-containing products). Some of these medicines may increase the amount of fluticasone propionate or salmeterol in your body. This can increase your risk of experiencing side effects with Seretide, including irregular heart beats, or may make side effects worse. Your doctor may wish to monitor you carefully if you are taking these medicines.
• Corticosteroids (by mouth or by injection). If you have had these medicines recently, this might increase the risk of this medicine affecting your adrenal gland.
• Diuretics, also known as ‘water tablets’ used to treat high blood pressure.
• Other bronchodilators (such as salbutamol).
• Xanthine medicines. These are often used to treat asthma.
