Seroflo 100 Rotacaps is a prescription inhalation medicine manufactured by Cipla Ltd. It comes as small capsules (rotacaps) that contain a fixed combination of two active medicines:

• Fluticasone propionate (100 mcg) — a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation and swelling inside the airways.
• Salmeterol (50 mcg) — a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the smooth muscles around the air passages so they stay open and allow air to move more freely.

These rotacaps are not swallowed like pills. Instead, they are placed into a Rotahaler device and the fine powdered medicine is inhaled into the lungs.

How It Works

When you inhale Seroflo 100 Rotacaps:

• Fluticasone reduces inflammation and irritation in the airway walls by blocking the release of chemical messengers that cause swelling.
• Salmeterol relaxes and widens the airway muscles, improving airflow and easing breathing.

Together these actions help to improve lung function, reduce symptoms such as wheezing and chest tightness, and decrease the frequency of flare-ups in chronic respiratory conditions.

This combination makes Seroflo a controller medication meant for regular daily use to maintain symptom control rather than an immediate rescue treatment for sudden breathing difficulties.

What It’s Used For

Seroflo 100 Rotacaps is typically prescribed for:

• Asthma: Helps control symptoms like coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Used to manage chronic breathlessness and reduce the severity and frequency of COPD symptoms.

It may be suitable for adults and children aged 4 years and older when directed by a doctor.

How to Use It

1. Place one Rotacap into the Rotahaler’s chamber just before use.
2. Pierce the capsule as instructed by your healthcare provider or the inhaler’s leaflet.
3. Inhale the powder deeply through your mouth, holding your breath briefly to let the medicine reach deep into your lungs.
4. If necessary, repeat the inhalation to ensure the full dose is taken.
5. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after inhalation to reduce the risk of fungal infections in the mouth and throat.

Important: Use this medicine every day as prescribed. Do not stop treatment even if you feel better without your doctor’s advice, as symptoms can return or worsen.
