Sirdupla Evohaler
Sirdupla 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 which reduces swelling and irritation in the lungs. You must use Seretide every day as directed by your doctor. This will make sure that it works properly in controlling your asthma. Sirdupla helps to stop breathlessness and wheeziness coming on. However Sirdupla 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.

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 doesn’t have a big impact on your life.
Symptoms
The main symptoms of asthma are:wheezing (a whistling sound when breathing)
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.Several conditions can cause similar symptoms, so it’s important to get a proper diagnosis and correct treatment.
Your GP will usually be able to diagnose asthma by asking about symptoms and carrying out some simple tests.
Treatments
The main types are:
reliever inhalers – used when needed to quickly relieve asthma symptoms for a short time (e.g salbutamol)
preventer inhalers (steroid) – used every day to prevent asthma symptoms occurring
Some people also need to take tablets.Causes and triggers
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 occur 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. -
Side Effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. To reduce
the chance of side effects, your doctor will prescribe the lowest dose of Seretide to control your
asthma.
Allergic reactions: you may notice your breathing suddenly gets worse immediately after using
Seretide. You may be very wheezy and cough or be short of breath. You may also notice itching, a
rash (hives) and swelling (usually of the face, lips, tongue or throat), or you may suddenly feel that
your heart is beating very fast or you feel faint and light headed (which may lead to collapse or loss of
consciousness). If you get any of these effects or if they happen suddenly after using Seretide, stop
using Seretide and tell your doctor straight away. Allergic reactions to Seretide are uncommon
(they affect less than 1 person in 100).
Other side effects are listed below:
Very Common (affects more than 1 person in 10)
• Headache – this usually gets better as treatment continues.
• Increased number of colds have been reported in patients with COPD.
Common (affects less than 1 person in 10)

and/or brushing your teeth after taking each dose of your medicine may help. Your doctor may
prescribe an anti-fungal medication to treat the thrush.
