"Sirdupla is a maintenance inhaler typically prescribed for patients with asthma who require regular treatment to prevent symptoms. It combines two active ingredients to manage underlying inflammation and provide long-lasting airway relaxation, helping you maintain better control over your respiratory health." - Rachael Clarke MRCPharm MFRPSI FRSPH (GPHC Number: 2061366)

Sirdupla is a generic version of a combination inhaler used primarily for the regular treatment of asthma where a combination product is appropriate. It is a "preventer" inhaler, meaning it is designed to be used every day to keep symptoms at bay rather than to treat a sudden asthma attack.
Sirdupla contains two primary active ingredients that work together to manage respiratory symptoms effectively:
| Ingredient | Type of Medicine | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Fluticasone Propionate | Corticosteroid | Reduces swelling and irritation in the lungs. |
| Salmeterol | Long-acting bronchodilator | Helps the airways stay open for at least 12 hours. |
Many patients report that switching to Sirdupla provides a cost-effective way to manage their asthma without compromising on the efficacy of their treatment. Users often find the pressurised metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) format familiar and easy to incorporate into their morning and evening routines.
The Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) provides essential safety details and instructions for your medication, and you should read it thoroughly before your first dose. You will receive a physical copy of the leaflet inside your product packaging when you order from Mail my Meds.
Sirdupla works by combining the anti-inflammatory action of a steroid with the long-lasting muscle-relaxing effects of a bronchodilator. This dual approach addresses both the narrowing of the tubes in your lungs and the underlying sensitivity that causes asthma symptoms to flare up.
To use Sirdupla, you must breathe out fully, place the mouthpiece in your mouth, and press the canister while inhaling deeply and steadily. It is important to hold your breath for several seconds after inhalation and rinse your mouth with water afterwards to prevent oral irritation.
The standard dosage for Sirdupla is usually two puffs twice a day, typically in the morning and evening, as directed by your healthcare professional. You should continue to use the inhaler even if you feel better to ensure your asthma remains well-controlled over the long term.
Like all medicines, Sirdupla can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Common side effects may include:
- Hoarseness or throat irritation
- Headaches
- Muscle cramps
- Oral thrush (preventable by rinsing your mouth)
- Palpitations
Sirdupla is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used to treat a sudden onset of breathlessness or a severe asthma attack. Always ensure you have a separate fast-acting "reliever" inhaler available for emergencies and inform your prescriber if you have a history of fungal infections or tuberculosis.
Sirdupla contains the same active ingredients as Seretide Evohaler and is often considered a more budget-friendly alternative for the NHS and private patients. While it performs the same clinical function, it is important to stay on the specific brand your prescriber has authorised to maintain consistent control.
Can I use Sirdupla for an emergency asthma attack?
No, Sirdupla is a maintenance treatment designed for daily prevention and will not work fast enough to stop an acute asthma attack. You must use a dedicated reliever inhaler, such as Salbutamol, for sudden symptoms.
Is Sirdupla available on the NHS?
Yes, Sirdupla is available on the NHS, but many patients choose to purchase it privately through Mail my Meds for the convenience of an online consultation and home delivery.
Do I need to rinse my mouth after use?
Yes, rinsing your mouth with water or brushing your teeth after using Sirdupla is highly recommended to reduce the risk of developing oral thrush or a hoarse voice.
