Serevent is a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist indicated for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is administered via an inhalation aerosol and is available by prescription only. Patients are advised that Serevent is not intended for the treatment of acute bronchospasm and should not be used as a rescue medication. Also, it may increase the risk of asthma-related death in patients with asthma who are not receiving inhaled corticosteroids.
FAQs about Serevent
How should I store Serevent?

Can I stop taking Serevent suddenly?
The label advises against abrupt discontinuation of Serevent, as this may lead to worsening of asthma or COPD symptoms. Patients should consult their prescriber for guidance on how to safely discontinue use.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of Serevent, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at once.
