- Seretide 50mcg/250mcg Accuhaler is a combination of two medicines that opens the airways and makes it easier to breathe.

- Your doctor will tell you how often you need to use your inhaler. The effect of this medicine may be noticeable after a few days but will only reach its maximum after a few weeks. This medicine must be used regularly to be effective, so go on taking it even if you don’t have any symptoms. That means it’s doing its job.
