Foracort Rotacaps 200mcg (Budesonide / Formoterol)

What Is Foracort Rotacaps 200mcg and How Does It Work?

Foracort Rotacaps 200mcg is a combination of two medications, Budesonide and Formoterol, used for managing the long-term effects of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These conditions can cause breathing difficulties due to inflammation and narrowing of the airways. Foracort Rotacaps work by blocking the release of chemical messengers that cause swelling and relaxing the muscles in the airways, improving airflow and making breathing easier.

Asthma and COPD can lead to symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. The combination of Budesonide (a corticosteroid) and Formoterol (a bronchodilator) in Foracort Rotacaps helps alleviate these symptoms and improve lung function.

How Foracort Rotacaps 200mcg Works
