Seratrodast

Introduction

Seratrodast is an anti-allergic and anti-asthmatic medicine mainly used to manage bronchial asthma and allergy-related breathing issues. It helps reduce symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Seratrodast works by blocking certain chemical substances in the body that cause inflammation and narrowing of airways. This improves airflow and makes breathing easier. It is generally prescribed for long-term control of asthma rather than quick relief during sudden asthma attacks. Always use Seratrodast only as advised by your doctor for safe and effective results.

Uses of Seratrodast

• Helps in long-term management of bronchial asthma
• Reduces wheezing, coughing, and breathlessness
• Controls airway inflammation caused by allergy
• Prevents asthma symptoms triggered by allergens (dust, pollen, smoke)
• Supports better breathing in chronic allergic airway problems

How Seratrodast Works

Seratrodast works by blocking thromboxane A2, a substance in the body responsible for airway inflammation and tightening of the bronchial muscles. When thromboxane A2 is blocked, the airways become less inflamed and more relaxed. This helps prevent narrowing of air passages, improves airflow, and reduces asthma symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath. It is mainly used as a preventive medicine and is not meant for immediate relief during sudden asthma attacks.

Benefits of Seratrodast

• Helps control asthma symptoms effectively
• Reduces frequency of asthma attacks
• Improves breathing and lung airflow
• Decreases airway swelling and irritation

How to Take Seratrodast

Take Seratrodast exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken orally with water, preferably after food to reduce stomach upset. Do not crush or chew the tablet/capsule unless advised. Take it at the same time every day for better asthma control. Do not stop the medicine suddenly even if you feel better, as symptoms may come back. This medicine is for prevention and long-term control, not for immediate relief during an asthma attack. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but avoid double dosing.
