Seradair Tablet 10's belongs to the class of 'anti-asthmatic agents', primarily used to treat mild to moderate bronchial asthma. Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. Symptoms of asthma include coughing, wheezing and chest tightness.
Seradair Tablet 10's contains Seratrodast that belongs to the class of 'thromboxane receptor antagonists'. Thromboxane is a substance made by platelets that causes blood clotting and constriction of blood vessels (vasoconstriction). It is produced in the lungs of people with asthma and when it signals through thromboxane receptor, it leads to bronchoconstriction (constriction of airways) and vasoconstriction. Seradair Tablet 10's inhibits the action of thromboxane receptor and treats asthma symptoms.
