Product introduction

Serobid Rotacaps is only for the inhalational purpose, so do not swallow the capsule. The first dose is given under medical supervision to prevent the side effects happen during first use. For better results, it is suggested to take it at the same time every day. The dose and how often you take it depends on what you are taking it for. Your doctor will decide how much you need to improve your symptoms. You should take this medicine for as long as it is prescribed for you. It does not prevent the already started breathing trouble or COPD attack, hence always carry your medical inhaler with you for an emergency.

The most common side effects of this medicine include tremors, insomnia, headaches, and dry mouth. If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know. There may be ways of reducing or preventing them. Generally, it is advised to avoid alcohol while on treatment as it may affect heart rate.

Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have a heart problem, or have high blood pressure or diabetes. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your doctor should also know about all other medicines you are taking as many of these may make this medicine less effective or change the way it works.

Uses of Serobid Capsule

Benefits of Serobid Capsule

Asthma
Asthma is a chronic condition where the airways become inflamed and narrow, making breathing difficult. Serobid Rotacaps helps by keeping the airways open for a longer duration, making it easier to breathe and reducing symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. It also helps prevent asthma attacks when used regularly.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
COPD is a long-term lung disease that causes airflow blockage and breathing-related issues. Serobid Rotacaps helps relax the airway muscles, improving airflow and making breathing easier. It reduces the frequency of flare-ups and enhances daily activity levels in people with COPD.

Side effects of Serobid Capsule

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Serobid

Tremors
Dryness in mouth
Insomnia (difficulty in sleeping)
Headache

Muscle cramp

How to use Serobid Capsule

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor.

How Serobid Capsule works

Serobid Rotacaps is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens airways. This makes breathing easier.

Quick tips

Take the first dose of this medicine under medical supervision as it may cause wheezing or tightening of the airways (bronchospasm) immediately after using.
It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden breathing problems. Use your rescue inhaler to control sudden difficulty in breathing.
Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat.
Dry mouth may occur as a side effect. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake and sugarless candy may help.
