The nature of asthma means you'll require an inhaler at short notice, and whilst we offer next day delivery options, we do advise to keep your asthma medication updated in case of emergencies. Buying UK approved medication requires a prescription from a qualified UK doctor that we provide in the form of a free online consultation, which takes minutes to complete, before sending through to the pharmacy to prepare the inhalers. Your treatment will then be sent out for next day delivery.

Seretide is an inhaler available in two forms; an Accuhaler and an Evohaler. Both have the same active ingredients – fluticasone and salmeterol - and work in the same way to prevent asthmatic attacks, however the Evohaler is in the more recognisable format of a compressed canister whilst the Accuhaler is a dry powder. Both Evohalers and Accuhalers are easy to use and are proven preventer asthma treatments

As well as asthma, Seretide 500mcg Accuhaler to aid severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Both the Evohaler and Accuhaler have two active ingredients that work in different ways to help prevent an asthmatic attack from occurring, and should be used daily as instructed. The first active ingredient, fluticasone, is a medicine known as corticosteroid that helps to reduce inflammation in the lungs making breathing much easier. It is a synthetic version of a hormone that your body naturally produces, meaning it mimics the activities your body should be doing. The second active ingredient, salmeterol, is a long-acting beta 2 agonist that relaxes the airways to keep them at their widest. This dual action makes breathing significantly easier throughout the day.

How to use Seretide will depend on whether you have been prescribed an Accuhaler or an Evohaler. The Evohaler is the conventional inhaler that is pressed and inhaled whilst an Accuhaler is circular.

The Seretide Evohaler should be used twice a day (morning and evening). It works like many other inhalers by holding the inhaler upright, giving a shake and breathing in the medicine once sprayed in your mouth. The Evohaler can be sprayed directly into your mouth or by using a spacer if you struggle to ingest the medicine correctly.

The Seretide Accuhaler is also used twice a day and very simply ingested. To use, simply open the inhaler. Keep opening until it clicks. To inhale, exhale as much as you can and place your mouth over the mouthpiece then breathe in deeply through the mouth.

With all inhalers, aim to hold your breath for approximately 10 seconds to allow the medication to circulate through your lungs for maximum effectiveness. If you forget your morning or evening dosage, never take a double dose to compensate.

Evohaler is available in three dosages from OnlineClinic; 50mcg, 125mcg and 250mcg. The Accuhaler is also available in three dosages from OnlineClinic; 100mcg, 250mcg and 500mcg. Depending on your symptoms and past asthma medication, our doctors will advise you what to take.

Seretide side effects are rare, and if they appear, are well tolerable. They include headaches, aching joints, sore throat and oral thrush. If you do experience any of these persistently, or have other severe side effects, it is advised to stop taking the medicine immediately and visit your doctor.
