Unipuff SF Capsule 30's

Unipuff SF Capsule is used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) like bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes) and emphysema (shortness of breath). 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 that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs.

Unipuff SF Capsule combines two drugs: Salmeterol (bronchodilator) and Fluticasone propionate (corticosteroid). Salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widening the airways. Thus, it makes breathing easier. Fluticasone propionate belongs to the class of corticosteroids that work by acting on the nasal lining's inner cells and stopping releasing certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thereby providing relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose and sinus discomfort.

Asthma: It is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make breathing difficult. The most common COPD are emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Emphysema: It is a lung condition that causes shortness of breath.

Chronic Bronchitis: A lung disease associated with inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the lungs.
