My mother develops serious breathing problems whenever there is sudden seasonal change and also when she visits any new areas. It used to be a big concern for my family. However, Seroflo Inhaler has given her much needed relief.

My family doctor had prescribed it to my mother few months back when she was suffering from asthmatic attack coupled with wheezing cough. She was prescribed some medicines for quick relief and this inhaler to have long lasting effect. It is marketed by Cipla, which is one of the most reputed pharmaceutical companies of the world. In India, one inhaler costs Rs. 560.

I am writing this review to clear lots of misconceptions about this medicine. My experience should be helpful for other users. The first thing is the fact that it is not a quick relief sort of medicine for breathing difficulty. As I have stated above, the doctor had prescribed some other medicines for quick relief. This inhaler needs to be taken daily with the dose prescribed by the doctor to have long lasting impact. For my mother, the dose was two times a day. The doctor had asked me to ensure that she is taking it continuously for six months. After that, a appointment will be fixed with the doctor.

My mother had started to take it daily. I have asked her to take it at exactly the same time. First of all, inhaler needs to be shaken up. Then, it needs to be put into the mouth and pressing down is required which will throw medicines into mouth. Breath needs to be stopped for 10 seconds and after that mouth is required to be rinsed with normal water. That's fine. It takes only few seconds to complete the entire procedure.

I had started to notice the effect of the medicine after around two weeks. Well, some medicines were running for ten days. After this duration, my mother had not reported any breathing problem. Once she was caught into a sort of minor dust storm. I was frightened for her. But, she was fine. I must say that this inhaler was showing its effect. She was taking it regularly without any breathing issue and that was what working in her favor.
She had little bit of nausea initially, but over time she was absolutely fine. I mean she had no side effects. I should mention here that she is 72 years old and hence it should be appreciated that she was tolerating the inhaler without any problem.

Seroflo Inhaler is a wonderful medicine for breathing problem emanating from asthma or COPD. I just suggest future users to not take it as a quick relief sort of inhaler. I mean if you have sudden asthmatic attack, then it may not be helpful in that scenario. It needs to be taken for prolong duration in a dose as suggested by the doctor. It should be discontinued only when the doctor asks to do so. My mother is still taking it as asked by her doctor. It keeps the airways opened.
