Seretra 80 Tablet belongs to the class of 'anti-asthmatic agents', primarily used to treat mild to moderate bronchial asthma. Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. Symptoms of asthma include coughing, wheezing and chest tightness.

Seretra 80 Tablet contains Seratrodast that belongs to the class of 'thromboxane receptor antagonists'.

Seretra 80 Tablet inhibits the action of thromboxane receptor and treats asthma symptoms.
