Serevent (Salmeterol) is a beta receptor stimulant used to prevent or minimize problems in persons with breathing difficulties including asthma and chronic obstructive disorders of the lungs such as chronic bronchitis or emphysema. It works by opening the air passages in the lungs to improve breathing. It will not stop an asthma attack once one has started. Salmeterol is generally combined with another effective controller-type asthma medicine (such as an inhaled corticosteroid). This medicine may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.

What is the most important information I should know about Serevent?
• Data from a large study of people using Serevent has shown a small but significant increased risk of asthma-related deaths. Discuss with your doctor the risks and benefits of using Serevent before starting treatment.
• Do not use Serevent more often than is prescribed by your doctor. Doing so could seriously affect the heart and could even lead to death. Generally Serevent should not be used more often than every 12 hours.
• Seek medical attention if you notice that you require more than your usual or more than the maximum amount of any asthma medication in a 24-hour period. An increased need for medication could be an early sign of a serious asthma attack.
• Serevent is a long-acting medication used to treat chronic asthma. It does not treat acute asthma attacks.
• Do not substitute Serevent for any of your other asthma medications especially if you are having an acute asthma attack.
• It is very important to use the Serevent inhaler properly so that the medicine gets into the lungs. Your doctor may want you to use a spacer with the inhaler. (A spacer should not be used with the Serevent Diskus inhaler.) Talk to your doctor about proper inhaler use.
What is Serevent?
• Serevent is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing muscles in the airways to improve breathing.
• Serevent is used to treat asthma. It is used only to prevent asthma attacks not to treat an attack already in progress. It will not work fast enough to give relief during an attack. Serevent is also used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
• Serevent may also be used for conditions other than those listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using Serevent?
• Data from a large study of people using Serevent has shown a small but significant increased risk of asthma-related deaths. Discuss with your doctor the risks and benefits of using Serevent before starting treatment.
• Before using this medication tell your doctor if you have
heart disease or high blood pressure;
irregular heartbeats;
epilepsy or another seizure disorder;
diabetes;
an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism);
liver disease; or
kidney disease.
• You may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during therapy if you have any of the conditions listed above.
• Serevent is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether Serevent will be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not use this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment.
• It is not known whether Serevent passes into breast milk. Do not use Serevent without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I use Serevent?
• Use Serevent exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions ask your pharmacist nurse or doctor to explain them to you.
• If you are using Serevent to prevent exercise-induced asthma take a dose 30 to 60 minutes before exercising or as directed by your doctor. Another dose should not be taken for at least 12 hours.
• To use the inhaler:
Shake the inhaler several times and uncap the mouthpiece. Breathe out fully. For best results hold the inhaler 1 to 2 inches in front of your open mouth or attach a spacer to the inhaler and place the spacer in your mouth above your tongue and past your teeth. Take a deep slow breath as you push down on the canister. Hold your breath for 10 seconds then exhale slowly. If you place your inhaler directly into your mouth you may not receive the correct amount of medicine because it will be propelled onto the back of your tongue and/ or throat. If you do use your inhaler directly in your mouth be sure that it is above your tongue and past your teeth.
If your doses consist of more than one puff each wait for at least 1 full minute after each puff then repeat the procedure.
Keep your inhaler clean and dry. Keep the mouthpiece capped to avoid getting dirt inside it. Clean your inhaler once a day by removing the canister and immersing the mouthpiece in warm water. Allow the parts to dry then reassemble the inhaler.
• To use the Serevent Diskus inhaler:
Snap the mouthpiece into position. Hold the Diskus level and away from your mouth breathe out fully away from the mouthpiece. (Do not breathe out into the Diskus mouthpiece.) Put the mouthpiece to your lips. Take a steady deep breath in through your mouth. Remove the mouthpiece from your mouth. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds. Breathe out slowly away from the mouthpiece. Close the Diskus. The Diskus is now ready for your next scheduled dose.
Never wash the mouthpiece or any part of the Diskus device. Keep it dry at all times.
• It is very important to use the Serevent inhaler properly so that the medicine gets into the lungs. Your doctor may want you to use a spacer with the inhaler. (A spacer should not be used with the Serevent Diskus inhaler.) Talk to your doctor about proper inhaler use.
• In most cases you should be able to taste or feel a dose of Serevent being delivered. If the delivery of a dose is not detected do not use another dose. Contact your healthcare provider if you have questions.
• Do not use Serevent more often than is prescribed by your doctor. Doing so could seriously affect the heart and could even lead to death. Generally Serevent should not be used more often than every 12 hours.
• Do not use Serevent to treat an asthma attack that has already begun. It will not work fast enough to reverse your symptoms. Have another faster-acting inhalation — such as albuterol (Ventolin Proventil) — on hand to relieve asthma attacks.
• Seek medical attention if you notice that you require more than your usual or more than the maximum amount of any asthma medication in a 24-hour period. An increased need for medication could be an early sign of a serious asthma attack.

What are discount generic prescription drugs? If you ordered with the online drug store, for example generic viagra, do not be surprised to receive medications with a different name. Since generic are bioequivalent (made of the same active chemical elements) to branded pills, but just named differently. Popular and known drugs are manufactured by pharmaceutical companies-inventors, and generic are manufactured by other companies, after patent terms are out.
From a physician's point of view, generic drugs are better than branded prescription medications, for their chemical composition and way of taking are maximally well studied. Means generic drugs are more reliable and safe drugs. Accordingly, risks of eventual side effects are set up to the minimum for the manufacturer.
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) controls the quality of all medications. Before allowing any manufacturer to start clinical tests generics or prescription medications must be registered at the FDA. More over pills can be on sale only they were approved. The methods of control used by the FDA are so strict that not more 1/5 of drugs are approved.
Who manufactures generic drugs? Make sure to first know who manufactures the prescription medications, you intend to purchase. For example, if the generic viagra, proposed by the online drug store, is manufactured in India, means it is a quality and good generic. It is known that India — is the biggest and reliable manufacturer of generics. Large parts of generics are made in India. Among them we can name drugs for depression, prescription diet pills, sleeping pills, blood pressure medication, birth control pills, pain medication, slimming pills, asthma medication, impotence medication, stop smoking medication, arthritis medication and many other pills.
How much high quality prescription drugs and generics cost? Be aware of purchasing too cheap prescription drugs. Keep in mind the fact that no one will sell regardless of the profits! That's why any reliable online drug store will never sell quality medication at the same prices it purchases pills from manufacturers. Thus more the online drug store, whose prices for drugs are closed to the prices proposed by other stores. If you find a site where prices are considerably lower than usual — do not hurry to purchase. More probably, you do will receive poor quality prescription medications and do will loose your money.
However show attention when purchasing generic and not branded pills! Thus manufacturing and advertising generics is substantially less expensive than doing the same with branded pills, that's why generics are always cheaper! A generic can cost 10, 20 or even 50 times lower than its equivalent branded drug. That's why prices for one generic must be compared only to the prices for another generic, and to the ones for branded pills. If you find on an online drug store generic at a quite lower price than on other stores — make the choice in favor of the usual, common price which justifies itself.
Prescription Medication News. Health professionals have been advised that patients who are prescribed anti-psychotic drugs are the least likely to pick up their medicine.
Figures provided by the NHS Information Centre for England show that of all the anti-psychotic drugs prescribed by clinicians, only 85.1% of them are picked up by the patient.
This compares with 98.5% of other drugs that are prescribed. The data, from 145 GP practices and covering the period between 2004 and 2008, shows that the overall collection figure also dropped from 99.6% in 2005 to 98.5% in 2008.
