Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Asthma is chronic allergic inflammatory disease of airways.
So treatment of asthma should be taken regularly.
Seretide is having salmeterol and fluticasone combination.
Salmeterol is long acting beta 2 agonist. Fluticasone is inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
Both are treatment of choice for asthma.
So you should start seretide inhaler regularly without any intruption.
At present you can take seretide because you are having breathing difficulty. And continue this without stopping.
Dont worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
