Introduction
Bioxitide 25/125mcg HFA Inhalation Aerosol is a prescription medicine that belongs to a class called combination inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting beta agonist. It contains two active ingredients—Salmeterol (25 mcg) and Fluticasone Propionate (125 mcg)—that work together to provide effective airway management. Like many inhalers, it may cause side effects such as headache, hoarseness, throat irritation, or nausea. If you’re using an inhaler like this for the first time, make sure you understand how to use it properly and always keep track of the number of puffs remaining—many people forget to replace their inhalers until it’s too late!
