WHAT SEREVENT INHALER
IS USED FOR
The medicine in Serevent Inhaler is
known as a bronchodilator.  A
bronchodilator keeps the breathing
tubes in your lungs open and relieves
the symptoms of asthma and other
chest conditions.  When used as your
doctor has told you, Serevent Inhaler
helps you to breathe more easily.
Serevent gives relief, for up to twelve
hours, from chest tightness or wheeze
due to asthma, or other chest
conditions in adults namely chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD).  You should use Serevent
Inhaler regularly every day, twice
daily, in the morning and in the
evening.
The medicine in Serevent Inhaler
does not start working as quickly as a
'reliever puffer' such as Ventolin(R).
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CARRY A
'RELIEVER PUFFER' WITH YOU.  IF YOU
HAVE AN ASTHMA ATTACK, USE YOUR
'RELIEVER PUFFER', NOT YOUR SEREVE
