How does SEREVENT DISKUS work?
When you use your DISKUS and breathe in, SEREVENT enters your lungs, where it begins to work.

Microscopic particles of SEREVENT are inhaled into your lungs, causing the air passages to relax.
Keeping the airways open may result in easier breathing.
SEREVENT DISKUS provides relief for up to 12 hours.

Important information about SEREVENT DISKUS
SEREVENT DISKUS does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be taken more than twice a day. In patients with asthma, medicines like SEREVENT may increase the chance of asthma-related death. Talk to your doctor about this risk and the benefits of treating your asthma with SEREVENT. SEREVENT should not be the only controller medicine prescribed for your asthma and is not a substitute for anti-inflammatory medications (inhaled or oral corticosteroids). Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure. Some people may experience increased blood pressure, heart rate, or changes in heart rhythm. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve.
