Overview
Bioxitide 25/125mcg HFA Inhalation Aerosol contains salmeterol 25mcg and fluticasone propionate 125mcg, a combination inhaler used for the regular maintenance treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in patients who need both an inhaled corticosteroid and a long-acting bronchodilator.
Fluticasone reduces inflammation in the airways, while salmeterol relaxes airway muscle over a prolonged period by stimulating beta-2 receptors – together they reduce airway swelling and keep the airways open for longer, easing breathing.
How it Works
Fluticasone propionate is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the airway lining. Salmeterol is a long-acting beta-2 agonist that relaxes the smooth muscle around the airways for up to 12 hours, keeping the airways open – together these actions reduce symptoms and the frequency of flare-ups.
Directions for Use
Shake the inhaler well before each use. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after each use to reduce the risk of oral thrush. This inhaler is for regular maintenance use and is not intended to relieve sudden breathlessness.
Dosage
The usual dose is two inhalations twice daily, but the exact dose strength and regimen is confirmed by the treating doctor based on the severity of asthma or COPD.
Shelf Life
Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children; do not puncture or expose the canister to heat.
Side Effects
- Oral thrush (candidiasis) – reduced by rinsing the mouth after use
- Throat irritation or hoarseness
- Headache
- Palpitations or tremor
- Increased risk of respiratory infections
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to salmeterol, fluticasone, or any ingredient in the formulation
- Use as a rescue inhaler for acute breathlessness – it is not fast-acting enough for this purpose
Drug / Food Interactions
- Beta-blockers can reduce the effectiveness of the salmeterol component.
- Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (such as certain antifungals) can increase fluticasone levels and side effects.
- Other medicines from the same classes (other long-acting beta agonists or inhaled corticosteroids) are generally not combined with this inhaler.
- Inform your doctor of all medicines you are taking.
Quick Tips
- Always rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after using this inhaler to reduce the risk of oral thrush.
- Use this inhaler regularly as maintenance treatment, not as a rescue inhaler for sudden breathlessness – keep a fast-acting reliever inhaler as directed by your doctor for that purpose.
- Have your inhaler technique checked periodically by your doctor or pharmacist.
- Report palpitations, tremor, or worsening breathlessness to your doctor.
