Foracort Rotacaps 100mcg (Budesonide/Formoterol)

What Is Foracort Rotacaps 100mcg?

Foracort Rotacaps 100mcg is a blend of two medications in the form of an inhaler. It eases the long-term effects of asthma and COPD and makes breathing easier. The inhaler works by stopping the release of chemical messengers that trigger inflammation (swelling) and relaxing the muscles in the airways, which helps improve airflow and breathing.

Your physician will advise you on how frequently to use your inhaler. The effects of this medication may be noticeable within a few days, but it will reach its peak effectiveness within a couple of weeks.

The medication should be taken regularly to ensure its effectiveness. Continue using it even if you do not notice any symptoms. This means that it’s performing its job. If you stop taking it, your symptoms may worsen. This medication should never be used to treat sudden shortness of breath.

How Foracort Rotacaps 100mcg Works

Foracort Rotacaps 100mcg contains two active ingredients: Budesonide and Formoterol. Budesonide is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation in the lungs, while Formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that helps relax the muscles in the airways. Together, these two medications help ease breathing problems and prevent symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath caused by asthma and COPD.

Foracort Rotacaps 100mcg should not be swallowed. Follow these steps for proper usage:

1. Read the label carefully before using the inhaler.
2. Place the capsule near the base of the rotahaler, but not inside the mouthpiece.
3. Turn the mouthpiece until you hear a click to ensure it is properly loaded.
4. Breathe deeply through the mouthpiece and hold your breath for at least 10 seconds.
5. If there is remaining powder in the rotahaler, repeat the procedure until the full dose is taken.

After using the inhaler, rinse your mouth and throat with water to avoid potential side effects like fungal infections.
