Hello
Esiflo transcaps 's ingredient are salmeterol +fluticasone and indications are :Asthma & chronic obstructive pulmonary disease .
The side effects are:
Mouth & throat candidiasis , throat irritation . hoarseness ? dystonia . nasopharyngitis , lower respiratory infections ( pneumonia , bronchitis 0 , hypokaelimia, prolonged use may cause Cushing's syndrome, adrenal suppression .
Since fluticasone is a steroid , so in my opinion should not take.
When patient with these symptoms ( as you mentioned in the quesry like wheezing bronchitis ) visit my clinic I prescribe them to take monteleukast+ bambuterol tablet one or two in a day according to severity of symptoms .
This is a safe drug even for prolong use and you will get quick relief.
So consult your doctor and get his opinion ( 2nd one ).
Good luck.
