What is Ibiflo-S 250 Nexhaler
Ibiflo-S 250 Nexhaler is a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) used for the maintenance treatment of chronic respiratory disorders like Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Its FDA-approved active ingredients are Fluticasone Propionate (250 mcg), an inhaled corticosteroid, and Salmeterol Xinafoate (50 mcg), a long-acting beta 2 (β2) agonist. Indiabulls Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. manufactures Ibiflo-S at WHO-GMP-certified facilities.
Fluticasone propionate blocks the release of inflammatory mediators, decreasing airway swelling, mucus secretion, and sensitivity. Salmeterol helps relax bronchial smooth muscle, widening the airways for up to 12 hours, providing sustained relief from symptoms. Ibiflo-S is prescribed to manage persistent Asthma and COPD, reduce flare-ups, and improve lung function in both conditions. This inhaler is not for immediate relief during acute attacks.
Ibiflo-S 250 Nexhaler should be used twice daily, typically 1 puff in the morning and 1 in the evening, approximately 12 hours apart. If you miss a dose and it's more than 3 hours until the next one, take the missed dose immediately. If it's almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one. Do not take two doses at once. If an overdose occurs, it may lead to symptoms like headache, palpitations, or muscle cramps. Seek medical attention if symptoms are severe.
Ibiflo-S is generally well-tolerated, but side effects may include oral thrush, hoarseness, sore throat, cough, and muscle cramps. If any side effects persist or are severe, consult your healthcare provider. Ibiflo-S should not be used for acute attacks, and a rescue inhaler should always be available.
Use with caution in individuals with Diabetes, Hypertension, or thyroid disorders. Avoid strong CYP3A4 inhibitors and inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Store the inhaler at room temperature (15-30°C), away from heat and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
