Salmeterol is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as long-acting beta agonists. It contains the active ingredient salmeterol xinafoate, which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier for you to breathe. This medication is suitable for individuals with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to help manage and prevent symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
About Salmeterol
Dosage and usage
You should use salmeterol exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The typical dosage is usually 1 inhalation (50 mcg) twice a day, with at least 12 hours between doses. Do not exceed the recommended dose, and do not use it more frequently than prescribed. Salmeterol is a long-term maintenance treatment and should not be used for sudden asthma attacks. If you experience worsening symptoms or if your rescue inhaler becomes less effective, contact your doctor immediately.
What Salmeterol contains
Each inhalation of salmeterol contains 50 micrograms of salmeterol xinafoate as the active ingredient. It also includes lactose monohydrate (which contains milk proteins) as an excipient.
Side effects
Common side effects of salmeterol may include headache, throat irritation, and tremors. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention may include chest pain, fast or irregular heartbeat, and high blood pressure. If you experience sudden breathing problems after using salmeterol, seek medical help right away.
Precautions
Do not use salmeterol if you are allergic to salmeterol xinafoate or have had a severe allergic reaction to it in the past. Inform your healthcare provider about any heart conditions, high blood pressure, or thyroid disorder before using salmeterol. It is important to discuss all your medical conditions and current medications with your doctor to ensure the safe use of this medication.
