Hi, Im 31 and have been using Seroflo 250 Inhaler for about 2 years as prescribed by my doctor. I recently found out that Fluticasone Propionate in the inhaler is a steroid, and Im concerned about the long-term effects. However, if I stop using it, I...

Accepted Answer

Hi, using a Seroflo 250 inhaler is essential for controlling asthma or COPD as it contains both a steroid (Fluticasone) to reduce inflammation and a bronchodilator.

Consult your doctor before making any changes to ensure your symptoms stay managed.
