Maxiflo Synchrobreathe 6mcg 250mcg Inhaler is a prescription combination inhaler marketed by Cipla that contains Formoterol 6mcg and Fluticasone Propionate 250mcg per metered dose. Formoterol is a long acting bronchodilator that relaxes the airway muscles, while Fluticasone is an inhaled corticosteroid that calms swelling and irritation in the lungs. Together they keep the airways open and reduce the number of attacks. Doctors prescribe it for regular maintenance treatment of asthma, not for sudden relief. The Synchrobreathe design is a breath actuated device, so the dose is released as you inhale, which makes it easier to coordinate pressing and breathing in. Each canister provides 120 metered doses and is normally taken twice a day as directed. It is a Schedule H medicine and should be used only as advised by your doctor, who will decide the number of puffs. A separate quick relief inhaler should always be kept nearby for sudden symptoms.
