For oral inhalation only. Shake the inhaler well before each use. Exhale fully, then place the mouthpiece in your mouth and inhale slowly and deeply while pressing down on the canister. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale slowly. Rinse your mouth with water after use to reduce the risk of oral thrush.

Salmeterol acts locally in the lungs as a selective long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist. It stimulates beta2-receptors on the bronchial smooth muscle, leading to relaxation of the smooth muscle and bronchodilation. This action helps to widen the airways, improving airflow and relieving symptoms of asthma and COPD.

• •Primary treatment of status asthmaticus or other acute episodes of asthma or COPD where intensive measures are required.
• •Hypersensitivity to Salmeterol or any component of the formulation.
• •Not indicated for the relief of acute bronchospasm.

Store below 30°C. Protect from direct sunlight, heat, and freezing. Do not puncture or incinerate the canister, even when empty. Keep out of reach of children.

Symptoms of Salmeterol overdose include tremor, headache, palpitations, tachycardia, arrhythmias, hypertension, hypotension, and hypokalemia. Management is primarily supportive. Cardiac monitoring may be required. Beta-blockers should be used with caution, as they may induce bronchospasm.

Pregnancy Category C. Use during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known whether Salmeterol is excreted in human breast milk. Caution should be exercised when administered to a nursing woman.
