Round Inhaler

A Round Inhaler is used to control asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder on a long-term scale. It consists of Salmeterol, a long-acting bronchodilator, and Fluticasone, a corticosteroid that decreases airway inflammation. Combined, they are useful to stabilise breathing, reduce the rate of symptoms, and manage day-to-day breathing, but not for instant emergency care.

What is a Round Inhaler?

Round Inhaler is a maintenance inhaler that is given to individuals with asthma and COPD who have frequent difficulties with breathing. It is a combination of Salmeterol and Fluticasone that is used to maintain airway patency and control inflammation. It is intended to be used every day in order to decrease exacerbation and stabilise the respiratory condition.

Active Ingredient: Salmeterol/Fluticasone

Salmeterol and Fluticasone are used in combination as active ingredients of Seroflo Ciphaler. Salmeterol is used to keep airways open by delivering long-lasting bronchodilation, whereas Fluticasone suppresses chronic bronchial inflammation. This combined-action formulation assists in maintaining stable breathing patterns, and the recurrence of the symptoms is diminished if it’s used regularly as intended.

Medical Conditions Treated with Round Inhalers

• Continuous asthma that needs management of symptoms daily.
• Moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease progression.
• Frequent wheezing affects daily activities.
• Nocturnal breathlessness causes sleep disturbance.
• Prophylaxis of respiratory discomfort during exercise.
• Long-term airway inflammation management.
• Reduced lung capacity with recurrent exacerbations.
• Maintenance treatment is initiated when the symptoms have been initially stabilized.

TIP: The inhaler mouthpiece should be wiped down weekly using a dry cloth to prevent medicine buildup and ensure proper inhaler function.

How does a Round inhaler work?

Asthma

The Round Asthma Inhaler reduces airway inflammation and prevents airway narrowing in asthma in the long term. Salmeterol does not allow tightening of airway muscles by keeping airways dilated, whereas Fluticasone inhibits inflammatory processes. This combination reduces the frequency of symptoms, decreases night awakenings, and helps the patient to breathe evenly in case they are exposed to usual asthma triggers.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)

In the COPD condition, Seroflo Ciphaler 250 is used to maintain airflow and prevent worsening of airflow limitation. Salmeterol maintains the airways and enhances the airflow during daily activities, and Fluticasone reduces the activity of inflammatory cells. They help to reduce the number of exacerbations, enhance the functional independence of patients through regular therapy, and enhance exercise tolerance.

How to Use a Round Inhaler Correctly

• The Asthma Inhaler Round needs to be shaken before every use.
• Exhale fully away from the mouthpiece.
• Stick the lips around the mouthpiece.
• Breathe in slowly while pressing the inhaler.
• Keep on breathing deeply and continuously.
• It is also important to hold the breath to enable deposition of medicine.
• Exhale slowly after inhalation.
• Rinse the mouth with water after use.

Round Purple Inhaler is a term commonly used to describe long-acting corticosteroid and bronchodilator combination inhalers to manage asthma and COPD on a long-term basis.
