Side Effects of Airflow 250 Inhaler 120mdi

Nausea and vomiting
Headache
Cough
Respiratory tract infection
Throat irritation
Oral candidiasis (fungal mouth infection)

Musculoskeletal pain

Managing the Side Effects:

Most of the side effects mentioned above are generally harmless and resolve on their own by discontinuing this medicine.

Airflow 250 Inhaler contains the following components:

Fluticasone Propionate (250 mcg): It is an inhaled corticosteroid. It works by reducing inflammation in the airways in asthma and COPD patients. By decreasing inflammation, it helps prevent exacerbations and symptoms of asthma and COPD.
Salmeterol Xinafoate (25 mcg): It is a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA). It works by stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the muscles of the airways. Activating these receptors causes these muscles to relax, leading to bronchodilation and making breathing easier for individuals with COPD and asthma. It produces a more prolonged bronchodilation effect lasting at least 12 hours.
