Description
Overview of the medicine
Seroxyn 25 mcg Inhaler contains Seroxyl Hydrochloride, a short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA) used to relieve symptoms of asthma and COPD, such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
2 actuations (50 mcg) as needed for symptom relief, up to 4 times daily. For exercise-induced bronchospasm, 2 actuations 15-30 minutes before exercise.
Elderly

How to Take
For oral inhalation only. Shake well before use. Prime the inhaler by spraying 2-4 test sprays into the air before first use or if not used for more than two weeks.

Seroxyl Hydrochloride selectively stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the smooth muscle of the bronchial tubes, leading to bronchodilation. This relaxes the muscles, widening the airways and making it easier to breathe.
