WHAT SIRDUPLA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Sirdupla contains two active substances, salmeterol and fluticasone
propionate.

Salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator. Bronchodilators help the
airways in the lungs to stay
open. This makes it easier for air to get in and out. The effects last
for at least 12 hours.

Fluticasone propionate is a glucocorticosteroid which reduces swelling
and irritation in the lungs.
SIRDUPLA IS INDICATED FOR USE IN ADULTS 18 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER
ONLY.
SIRDUPLA IS NOT INDICATED FOR USE IN CHILDREN 12 YEARS OF AGE AND
YOUNGER OR ADOLESCENTS 13 TO 17
YEARS OF AGE.
The doctor has prescribed this medicine to help prevent breathing
problems such as asthma.
You must use Sirdupla every day as directed by your doctor. This will
make sure that it works properly in
controlling your asthma.
SIRDUPLA HELPS TO STOP BREATHLESSNESS AND WHEEZINESS COMING ON.
HOWEVER SIRDUPLA SHOULD NOT BE
USED TO RELIEVE A SUDDEN ATTACK OF BREATHLESSNESS OR WHEEZING. IF THIS

4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Sirdupla is indicated in adults 18 years of age and older only.
Sirdupla is not indicated for use in children, 12 years of age and
younger or adolescents, 13 to 17 years of age.
Posology
Patients should be made aware that salmeterol/fluticasone propionate
must be used daily for optimum benefit, even
when asymptomatic.
Patients should be regularly reassessed by a doctor, so that the
strength of salmeterol/fluticasone propionate they are
receiving remains optimal and is only changed on medical advice. THE
DOSE SHOULD BE TITRATED TO THE LOWEST DOSE AT
WHICH EFFECTIVE CONTROL OF SYMPTOMS IS MAINTAINED.
TO NOTE: SIRDUPLA IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN TWO STRENGTHS; IT IS NOT
AVAILABLE IN A LOWER STRENGTH PRODUCT CONTAINING SALMETEROL 25
MICROGRAM AND FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE 50
MICROGRAM, A STRENGTH WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR OTHER SIMILAR FIXED-DOSE
COMBINATION PRODUCTS CONTAINING THESE TWO
ACTIVES AND CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET. Therefore, when it is
appropriate to titrate down to a dose of inhaled
glucocorticosteroid below 125 micrograms, a change to an alternative
fixed-dose combination of salmeterol and
fluticasone propionate containing a lower dose of the inhaled
glucocorticosteroid is required.
