Maxiflo 125 Inhaler 120 mdi is used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Maxiflo 125 Inhaler 120 mdi is a combination of two medicines, namely: Formoterol fumarate (bronchodilator) and Fluticasone propionate (corticosteroids). Formoterol fumarate is a long-acting beta-agonist that relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. Thereby making breathing easier by widening the airways. Fluticasone propionate acts by blocking prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways. Thereby, it provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose and sinus discomfort.
