What is Serevent Diskus? 

Serevent Diskus (salmeterol xinafoate) is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist indicated as a long-term treatment for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with emphysema and chronic bronchitis. It addresses symptoms like wheezing and trouble breathing. This oral inhalation works by relaxing bronchial smooth muscles and inhibiting the release of immediate hypersensitivity mediators. 

This drug is available in Serevent Diskus 50 mcg/inhalation.

How to use Serevent Diskus 

1. Take your Serevent Diskus out. Locate the label. On the first line of the label, write the date the packaging was opened and on the second line, write the date when the Diskus should be disposed of – it should be 6 weeks or 42 days after you opened the pouch.

3. Hold the inhaler in a flat position, the mouthpiece facing you. Then, push the lever away from the mouthpiece. You will hear a click. Now, check the counter of the inhaler. If it indicates “1”, it is ready for use. 
4. Exhale deeply and slowly through your mouth. Then, put the mouthpiece inside your mouth and close or seal your lips around it. 
5. Inhale fully but quickly through your mouth. You may taste something upon inhalation as the Diskus delivers very fine powder. 
6. Hold your breathing for about ten seconds or longer, and remove the Diskus from your mouth.
