Uses of Maxiflo 250 Inhaler
Treatment of Asthma
Benefits of Maxiflo 250 Inhaler
- In Asthma
- Maxiflo opens the airways or calms the inflammation inside them, depending on its type, so breathing is easier and attacks are fewer. Delivered straight into the lungs, it works where it is needed with very little reaching the rest of the body.
- In Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Maxiflo relaxes the airways so that air moves in and out more easily, reducing breathlessness and letting you walk further and do more before you have to stop.
How Maxiflo 250 Inhaler works
Maxiflo 250 Inhaler is a combination of two medicines: Formoterol and Fluticasone Propionate. Formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widening them. Fluticasone Propionate is a steroid. It works by stopping the release of certain chemical messengers that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.
How to take Maxiflo 250 Inhaler
Check the label for directions before use. Shake the inhaler. While you are breathing in from mouth, press down on the inhaler one time to release the medication and hold your breath for 10 seconds. Repeat until you have inhaled the number of puffs as suggested by the doctor.Afterwards, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water and spit it out.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Warnings and precautions
Know which of your inhalers is the reliever and which is the preventer. A preventer must be used every day even when you feel well; a reliever is for symptoms. Seek emergency care if your reliever is not working, if you cannot speak a full sentence, or if you are using the reliever far more often than usual. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after every steroid inhaler dose to prevent thrush and hoarseness. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to watch your technique — poor technique is the commonest reason an inhaler seems not to work. Use a spacer if one has been advised, particularly for children.
Do not take Maxiflo if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for anyone with a known allergy to the propellant used in the inhaler.
Interactions with other medicines
Beta blockers, including eye drops for glaucoma, can tighten the airways and reduce the effect of your reliever.
