A member asked:
I have asthma and i ve been taking seretide diskus for it! what is the difference between seretide and ventolin ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Big: Seretide contains both a long-acting bronchodilator and an inhaled steroid and is meant for maintenance and control, ventolin is a short-acting bronchodilator only used as a rescue med when you have an attack. Using ventolin alone repeatedly may actually worsen your asthma.
