Serobid Rotacaps 50 mcg is a prescription respiratory medication used for the long-term treatment and prevention of bronchial asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, and other obstructive airway conditions. It contains a long-acting bronchodilator that helps keep the airways open for an extended period, making breathing easier and reducing symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, and shortness of breath.

Active Ingredient
Salmeterol 50 mcg

How It Works
