Foracort Rotacaps 400mcg (Budesonide / Formoterol)

What Is Foracort Rotacaps 400mcg and How Does It Work?

Foracort Rotacaps 400mcg is a combination of two medications, Budesonide and Formoterol, used to manage the long-term effects of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These conditions can make breathing difficult due to airway inflammation and narrowing. Foracort Rotacaps work by blocking the release of chemical messengers that cause swelling and relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe.

Asthma and COPD can cause symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. The combination of Budesonide (a corticosteroid) and Formoterol (a bronchodilator) in Foracort Rotacaps helps reduce these symptoms by improving airflow and reducing inflammation.
