India-based Cipla has introduced Serroflo (salmeterol/fluticasone MDI) in Germany and Sweden to treat patients suffering from asthma.

Serroflo is expected to improve the affordability of fixed combinations in Europe and help manage health costs for respiratory treatment.

Cipla Europe head Frank Pieters said: "With Serroflo, we offer in Germany and Sweden an alternative, which is effective and efficient and therefore brings many advantages into a market, which suffers from limited resources."

"Serroflo is expected to improve the affordability of fixed combinations and help manage health costs for respiratory treatment."

The new product is available under the name Serroflo in Germany, while it is introduced as Salmeterol/Fluticasone Cipla in Sweden.

Both are available in a pMDI with HFA propellant in two strengths, 120 doses of 25/125mcg salmeterol/fluticasone and 120 doses of 25/250mcg salmeterol/fluticasone.

The combination is already available under the name Duohal in Europe, apart from Croatia.
