Foracort Inhaler 100mcg (Budesonide/ Formoterol)

What Is Foracort Inhaler 100mcg and How Does It Work?

Foracort Inhaler 100mcg is a combination medication containing Budesonide and Formoterol, used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These conditions cause inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making it difficult to breathe. Foracort Inhaler works by reducing inflammation in the lungs and relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe.

Asthma is a respiratory illness that causes the airways to narrow and swell, producing excess mucus. COPD is a long-term lung condition that causes inflammation and airflow obstruction, making breathing more difficult. The combination of Budesonide (a corticosteroid) and Formoterol (a bronchodilator) helps manage symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath associated with both conditions.

The Use of Foracort Inhaler 100mcg

Foracort Inhaler 100mcg is prescribed for:

• Asthma: For long-term treatment of asthma symptoms in adults and children over 6 years old.
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): For managing moderate to severe COPD symptoms in adults.

How Foracort Inhaler 100mcg Works

Foracort Inhaler 100mcg combines two active ingredients:

• Budesonide: A corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs, helping to prevent asthma attacks and COPD flare-ups.
