Protide Inhalation Capsule 50 mcg+100 mcg is a combination respiratory medication used for the long-term management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains Salmeterol, a long-acting bronchodilator, and Fluticasone Propionate, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways. This dual-action formula helps patients breathe more easily by relaxing airway muscles and controlling airway swelling.

The inhalation capsule is designed to be used with a suitable inhalation device, ensuring the medicine is delivered directly to the lungs. This targeted delivery provides effective symptom control with minimal systemic exposure.

Composition

Each inhalation capsule contains:

• Salmeterol – 50 mcg

• Fluticasone Propionate – 100 mcg

Mechanism of Action

Protide Inhalation Capsule works through the combined effects of its two active ingredients:

• Salmeterol: A long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (LABA) that relaxes the smooth muscles of the airways. This helps keep the airways open for up to 12 hours, improving airflow and reducing breathing difficulty.

• Fluticasone Propionate: A corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, swelling, and irritation in the respiratory tract. It helps prevent asthma attacks and improves overall lung function.

Together, these components provide both long-term control and symptom relief for chronic respiratory conditions.

Indications

Protide Inhalation Capsule is commonly prescribed for:

• Long-term treatment and prevention of bronchial asthma

• Maintenance therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

• Reducing frequency and severity of asthma exacerbations

• Improving breathing and lung function in patients with persistent airway inflammation

It is intended for regular maintenance therapy and should not be used for the immediate relief of sudden asthma attacks.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Protide Inhalation Capsule should be determined by a physician based on the patient’s condition and response to treatment.

General guidelines include:

• Use the capsule with a compatible inhalation device.

• Inhale the contents through the mouth as directed by a healthcare professional.

• Usually taken once or twice daily, depending on the treatment plan.

Patients should rinse their mouth with water after inhalation to reduce the risk of throat irritation or oral fungal infection.
