Serevent & Asthma Attacks

Serevent, or salmeterol xinafoate, is an inhaled bronchodilator made by GlaxoSmithKline. Although Serevent is used to treat asthma, users are at an increased risk for severe asthma episodes when taking salmeterol. Problems occur when the drug forces airways to slacken, then contract. When the airways contract, it is more difficult to breathe. In a test, patients using Serevent were more likely to die of a severe asthma attack then those on a placebo medication.
