Seretide evohaler and Seretide accuhaler are combined corticosteroid and bronchodilator inhalers used to reduce inflammation in the lungs and open the airways in asthma and COPD. They are purple in colour.
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. You should still keep your reliever inhaler with you at all times in case you do have an asthma attack.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Seretide is used for people with severe COPD who have repeated attacks of breathlessness, despite using long-acting bronchodilators such as formoterol or salmeterol on a regular?basis. Only?the Seretide 500 accuhaler is suitable for treating COPD.
