Important information about SEREVENT DISKUS
SEREVENT DISKUS does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be taken more than twice a day. In patients with asthma, medicines like SEREVENT may increase the chance of asthma-related death. Talk to your doctor about this risk and the benefits of treating your asthma with SEREVENT. SEREVENT should not be the only controller medicine prescribed for your asthma and is not a substitute for anti-inflammatory medications (inhaled or oral corticosteroids). Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure. Some people may experience increased blood pressure, heart rate, or changes in heart rhythm. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve.
SEREVENT DISKUS is indicated for the long-term, twice-daily (morning and evening) administration in the maintenance treatment of asthma in patients 4 years of age and older.
SEREVENT DISKUS is also indicated for the prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm in patients 4 years of age and older.
