Foracort Forte Rotacaps (Budesonide/Formoterol)

What Are Foracort Forte Rotacaps and How Do They Work?

Foracort Forte Rotacaps is a combination of two medications, Formoterol and Budesonide, used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and reducing inflammation, making it easier to breathe and relieving symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that opens up the airways, while Budesonide is a steroid that reduces inflammation by blocking the release of chemical messengers. Together, these medications work to ensure the airways stay open, allowing air to flow in and out of the lungs with ease.

How to Use Foracort Forte Rotacaps

1. Read the Label: Ensure you read the instructions provided on the label before use.
2. Shake the Inhaler: Shake the inhaler well before each use to ensure the medication is mixed properly.
3. Prepare the Rotahaler: Place the rotacap at the bottom of the rotahaler, not inside the mouthpiece. Rotate the mouthpiece until you hear a click to ensure the capsule is in place.
4. Inhale Deeply: Breathe in deeply through the mouthpiece and hold your breath for 10 seconds or as long as you can. If there is still powder inside, repeat the process until you have inhaled the prescribed amount.
5. Clean Your Mouth: After using the inhaler, rinse your mouth with water and spit it out to reduce the risk of side effects like mouth irritation.
