Seretide Evohaler 250 mcg is a combination inhaler containing Salmeterol (a long-acting β₂-agonist) and Fluticasone Propionate (an inhaled corticosteroid). It is prescribed for the regular treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older. Salmeterol helps to relax the muscles in the airways, improving breathing, while Fluticasone reduces inflammation in the lungs.
