Serevent Diskus contains the active ingredient salmeterol. It is a prescription inhaled medication used for the long-term control of certain breathing conditions.
Serevent Diskus may be used as part of the long-term maintenance treatment of asthma in patients aged 4 years and older.
For asthma, Serevent Diskus must be used together with an inhaled corticosteroid. It should not be used alone because long-acting beta-2 agonists (LABAs) used without an inhaled corticosteroid can increase the risk of serious asthma-related complications.
Serevent Diskus helps keep the airways open and may reduce symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
Serevent Diskus is also used for the maintenance treatment of bronchospasm associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
COPD includes conditions such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. These conditions can make it difficult to breathe because the airways become narrowed or damaged.
Serevent Diskus helps relax the muscles around the airways, making it easier for air to move in and out of the lungs.
Serevent Diskus belongs to a class of medications called long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonists (LABAs).
Salmeterol works by stimulating beta-2 receptors in the muscles surrounding the airways. This causes the airway muscles to relax and the airways to widen.
Its effects last for about 12 hours, which is why it is generally used regularly rather than only when symptoms occur.
Serevent Diskus is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used to treat sudden asthma attacks, sudden shortness of breath, or rapidly worsening breathing symptoms.
A fast-acting rescue inhaler, such as albuterol or salbutamol, is generally used for sudden breathing symptoms as directed by a healthcare provider.
Serevent Diskus is inhaled through the mouth using the supplied Diskus inhaler.
For asthma and COPD, the usual dose is 1 inhalation twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart. Try to use it at the same times each day, such as in the morning and evening.
Use Serevent Diskus exactly as prescribed. Do not take extra doses or use it more often than directed.
Serevent Diskus contains a dry powder form of salmeterol. The inhaler is preloaded with individual medication doses in a foil blister strip.
You may or may not taste or feel the powder when you inhale it. This does not mean that the dose was not delivered.
Do not use Serevent Diskus with a spacer.
Remove the Diskus from the foil pouch only when you are ready to use it for the first time.
Write the following information on the inhaler label:
A new Serevent Diskus should show 60 doses on the dose counter.
Discard the inhaler 6 weeks after opening the pouch or when the counter reaches 0, whichever comes first.
Hold the Diskus in one hand.
Place the thumb of your other hand on the thumb grip and push it away from you as far as it will go.
The mouthpiece will appear and snap into position.
Hold the Diskus flat and level, with the mouthpiece facing toward you.
Slide the lever away from the mouthpiece until you hear a click.
This prepares one dose for inhalation.
Once you have moved the lever, do not close or tilt the inhaler before taking the dose because the prepared dose could be lost.
Before placing the inhaler in your mouth, breathe out fully while holding the Diskus away from your face.
Never breathe or exhale into the Diskus, because moisture from your breath can affect the dry powder medication.
Place the mouthpiece between your lips and close your lips firmly around it.
Take a deep, steady breath in through your mouth.
Do not breathe in through your nose while taking the dose.
Remove the Diskus from your mouth.
Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, or for as long as is comfortable, then breathe out slowly.
You may or may not taste or feel the medication powder.
Slide the thumb grip back toward you until the inhaler closes.
The dose counter will decrease after each dose and will show how many doses remain.
Do not wash the mouthpiece or any other part of the Diskus with water.
Keep the inhaler dry and store it at room temperature away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
Serevent Diskus is a long-term maintenance medication, not a rescue inhaler.
Do not use it to treat sudden wheezing or shortness of breath. Use the fast-acting rescue inhaler prescribed by your healthcare provider for sudden symptoms.
If your breathing symptoms suddenly worsen or your rescue inhaler is needed more often than usual, seek medical advice promptly.
Serevent Diskus (Salmeterol) is available in the following forms and strengths:
Serevent Diskus contains salmeterol, a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (LABA).
When a LABA is used by itself without an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) to treat asthma, it can increase the risk of serious asthma-related complications, including asthma-related death.
For this reason, Serevent Diskus should only be used for asthma together with an inhaled corticosteroid. It should generally be added only when asthma is not adequately controlled with an ICS alone.
Serevent Diskus is a long-acting maintenance medication and should not be used to treat sudden wheezing, shortness of breath, or an acute asthma or COPD attack.
Use the fast-acting rescue inhaler prescribed by your healthcare provider for sudden breathing symptoms.
Seek medical attention if your breathing suddenly becomes worse or if your rescue inhaler is not working as well as usual.
Do not start Serevent Diskus during a rapidly worsening or potentially life-threatening episode of asthma or COPD.
Contact your healthcare provider if you notice:
These may be signs that your condition is not adequately controlled.
In rare cases, Serevent Diskus can cause paradoxical bronchospasm, which means breathing suddenly becomes worse immediately after using the medication.
This can cause severe wheezing or difficulty breathing and may be life-threatening.
If this happens, stop using Serevent Diskus and use your fast-acting rescue inhaler as directed. Seek medical attention promptly.
Serious allergic reactions can occur with Serevent Diskus.
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop:
Serevent Diskus contains lactose that may contain small amounts of milk protein and should not be used by people with a severe allergy to milk proteins.
Salmeterol can affect the cardiovascular system.
Some people may experience:
Tell your healthcare provider if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or an irregular heartbeat before using Serevent Diskus.
Seek medical attention if you develop significant chest pain, a very fast or irregular heartbeat, fainting, or other concerning cardiovascular symptoms.
Beta-2 agonists such as salmeterol can sometimes lower blood potassium levels or increase blood glucose levels.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have diabetes or a condition that affects your potassium levels.
Certain medications, including some diuretics, may increase the risk of low potassium when taken with Serevent Diskus.
Serevent Diskus can interact with other medications.
Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and herbal supplements you use.
Important interactions may occur with certain:
Some combinations may increase the risk of cardiovascular effects or other serious side effects.
Available human data have not identified a clear increased risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse pregnancy outcomes with Serevent Diskus.
However, asthma itself can pose risks during pregnancy if it is not well controlled.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Your healthcare provider will weigh the benefits of maintaining good asthma control against any potential medication risks.
It is not known whether salmeterol passes into human breast milk.
Because blood levels after inhaled doses are low, the amount that could enter breast milk is also expected to be low.
Your healthcare provider will consider the benefits of breastfeeding, your need for Serevent Diskus, and any potential risks to the nursing infant.
Serevent Diskus may be used for asthma in children 4 years of age and older, but it must be used together with an inhaled corticosteroid.
The safety and effectiveness of Serevent Diskus have not been established in children younger than 4 years.
In children and adolescents with asthma who require both an ICS and a LABA, a combination inhaler containing both medications is often preferred to help ensure that both treatments are taken together.
Tell your healthcare provider before using Serevent Diskus if you have:
These conditions may affect whether Serevent Diskus is appropriate or whether additional monitoring is needed.
No. Serevent Diskus is a long-acting maintenance inhaler and should not be used to treat sudden wheezing, shortness of breath, or an asthma or COPD attack. For sudden breathing symptoms, use the fast-acting rescue inhaler prescribed by your healthcare provider, such as albuterol or salbutamol. Seek medical attention if your rescue inhaler is not working as well as usual or if your breathing symptoms suddenly become worse.
Serevent Diskus may be used for asthma in children 4 years of age and older. When used for asthma, it must be taken together with an inhaled corticosteroid.
