Esiflo 100 Transcaps is a respiratory medication primarily used to treat and prevent respiratory disorders like asthma attacks and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes).

Esiflo 100 Transcaps is a combination of two medicines, namely: Salmeterol (bronchodilator) and Fluticasone. Salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. It makes breathing easier by widening the airways. Fluticasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It acts by blocking prostaglandins' production (chemical messengers) that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways.

Your doctor will advise on how often you take Esiflo 100 Transcaps based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Esiflo 100 Transcaps include nausea, vomiting, respiratory tract infection, headache, sore throat, cough, bone, muscle or joint pain, increased heart rate, chills, black or tarry stools, and noisy breathing. Most of these side effects of Esiflo 100 Transcaps do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own. Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have heart, liver, kidney diseases, hypokalaemia (low potassium levels in the blood), hyperadrenocorticism (high levels of cortisol), eye disorders like cataract and glaucoma, seizure (fits), osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), and diabetes before taking Esiflo 100 Transcaps . Therapy with nasal or inhaled corticosteroids like Fluticasone should be cautiously administered in patients with a fungal, bacterial, parasitic, or viral infection and tuberculosis since there are chances of developing a secondary infection. Please check with your doctor if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding, or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines.

Esiflo 100 Transcaps is used to treat and prevent respiratory disorders like asthma attacks and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Esiflo 100 Transcaps improves pulmonary function and effectively treats and prevents the worsening of emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes). Esiflo 100 Transcaps is a combination of Salmeterol (bronchodilator) and Fluticasone (corticosteroid). Salmeterol relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. It makes breathing easier by widening the airways. Fluticasone acts by blocking prostaglandins' production (chemical messengers) that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways. Fluticasone has potent vasoconstrictive (narrowing of the blood vessels) and anti-inflammatory activity.

Do not stop taking this medicine of your own unless advised by your doctor. Before taking Esiflo 100 Transcaps , let your doctor know if have a history of heart, liver, kidney diseases, hyperadrenocorticism (high levels of cortisol), eye disorders like cataracts and glaucoma, seizure (fits), osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), and diabetes. Esiflo 100 Transcaps causes hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood), therefore should be used with caution in patients with hypokalaemia to prevent any cardiovascular effects.  Special precautions should be taken in patients with a fungal, bacterial, parasitic, or viral infection and tuberculosis since nasal or inhaled corticosteroids like Fluticasone can cause secondary infections. Esiflo 100 Transcaps can cause a rise in blood glucose levels. Hence monitor your blood glucose levels regularly if you are diabetic. Please let your doctor know if you plan to become pregnant or are already pregnant and a lactating mother. Do not drive or operate machinery if you experience drowsiness and increased/uneven heart rate while using Esiflo 100 Transcaps . Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine as it can worsen your side effects.

• It is advised to undergo blood examination to keep a check on your potassium levels since Esiflo 100 Transcaps can cause low potassium levels in the blood (hypokalaemia).
• Regularly monitor your blood sugar levels while using Esiflo 100 Transcaps since bronchodilators like Salmeterol can cause low blood glucose levels.
• Consult your diabetologist if you have diabetes before using Esiflo 100 Transcaps so that your insulin or other diabetic medication can be adjusted accordingly to maintain your blood sugar levels.
