dilator.&nbsp;Tracheal dilators act on the airways in the lungs to keep them dilated and make it easier to breathe.&nbsp;The effect lasts for at least 12 hours.<\/li><li>Fluticasone propionate is a&nbsp;corticosteroid&nbsp;(&nbsp;cortisone&nbsp;) that reduces swelling and irritation in the lungs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor has prescribed this medicine to prevent breathing problems in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Asthma<\/li><li>Chronic&nbsp;obstructive pulmonary disease&nbsp;(COPD).&nbsp;Seretide&nbsp;Diskus&nbsp;forte&nbsp;(50 micrograms \/ 500 micrograms per&nbsp;dose&nbsp;) reduces the number of worsening periods of COPD.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Seretide must be taken regularly every day according to the doctor&#8217;s instructions for it to work in the best way and give control of your\u00a0asthma\u00a0or COPD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seretide prevents shortness of breath and wheezing.\u00a0However, Seretide should not be used to relieve a sudden onset of shortness of breath or wheezing.\u00a0If this happens, take a fast-acting &#8220;if needed&#8221;\u00a0inhaler<\/strong>, such as\u00a0salbutamol<strong>.\u00a0You should always have your fast-acting &#8220;if needed&#8221;\u00a0inhaler\u00a0with you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salmeterol\u00a0and fluticasone propionate contained in Seretide may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before you use Seretide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Seretide if:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You are allergic (hypersensitive) to\u00a0salmeterol, fluticasone propionate, or the other ingredient\u00a0lactose monohydrate.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor before using Seretide if you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cardiovascular disease includes rapid and irregular heartbeat<\/li><li>Increased thyroid function (\u00a0hyperthyroidism\u00a0)<\/li><li>High\u00a0blood pressure<\/li><li>Diabetes\u00a0(because Seretide may increase blood sugar)<\/li><li>Decreased\u00a0potassium\u00a0content in the blood<\/li><li>or have had\u00a0tuberculosis\u00a0(TB) or other\u00a0lungs\u00a0infection.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact a doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Seretide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines, including medicines for\u00a0asthma\u00a0and over-the-counter medicines.\u00a0This is because the effect of the treatment can be affected if Seretide and certain other medicines are taken at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines before you start taking Seretide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u03b2-blockers (eg atenolol, propranolol, and sotalol).\u00a0\u03b2-blockers are most commonly used to treat high\u00a0blood pressure\u00a0or other heart conditions<\/li><li>Medicines used to treat\u00a0infections\u00a0(eg\u00a0ketoconazole, itraconazole, and erythromycin) include medicines used to treat\u00a0HIV\u00a0(eg ritonavir, medicines containing cobicistat).\u00a0Some of these medicines may increase the amount of fluticasone propionate or\u00a0salmeterol\u00a0in the body.\u00a0This may increase the risk of\u00a0side effects\u00a0with Seretide, including irregular heartbeat, or aggravate the\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Your doctor may want to monitor you closely if you are taking these medicines.\u00a0<\/li><li>Cortisone\u00a0(tablets or in\u00a0injection\u00a0).\u00a0If you have recently been treated with these drugs, it may increase the risk of affecting the function of the adrenal glands<\/li><li>Diuretics, also known as diuretics, are used to treat high\u00a0blood pressure<\/li><li>Other bronchodilators (eg\u00a0salbutamol\u00a0)<\/li><li>Xanthines.\u00a0These are often used to treat\u00a0asthma.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The effects or possible\u00a0side effects\u00a0of Seretide are unlikely to affect your ability to drive or use machines.\u00a0You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seretide contains lactose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Seretide\u00a0Diskus\u00a0contains\u00a0lactose monohydrate\u00a0up to 12.5 mg \/ dose.\u00a0This amount normally does not cause any problems for lactose-intolerant people.\u00a0The excipient\u00a0lactose\u00a0contains small amounts of milk protein which may cause allergic reactions.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Seretide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use Seretide every day until your doctor advises you to stop.\u00a0Do not use more than the recommended\u00a0dose.\u00a0Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/li><li>Do not stop taking Seretide or reduce the\u00a0dose\u00a0of Seretide without talking to your doctor first.<\/li><li>Seretide should be inhaled through the mouth into the lungs.<\/li><li>You may not be able to taste or powder the tongue, even if you have used the inhaler correctly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For

lead to problems with your adrenal glands (adrenal insufficiency) and in some cases cause\u00a0side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The side effects&nbsp;may include any of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
