Besvil 200 Octacaps 30

Besvil 200 Octacap is used in adults for long-term management of asthma and COPD through fluticasone furoate's anti-inflammatory and vilanterol's long-acting bronchodilator action.

Uses of Besvil 200 Octacaps are:

• COPD: Reduces exacerbation frequency and manages breathlessness, wheeze, and chest tightness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
• Asthma: Long-term management of asthma.
• Capsule Inhalation: Octacap dry powder format provides an alternative inhalation method without propellant.

You should administer Besvil 200 Octacap as follows:

• Use the inhaler device specifically designed for these capsules.

• Only inhale the contents of the capsule; do not swallow it.

• The capsule should be administered once daily by the orally inhaled route at roughly the same time each day.

• Always rinse your mouth with water without swallowing after each dose to prevent oral thrush.

Remember, it's important to consult your doctor for specific advice on how to use this medication properly.

Besvil 200 Octacap is taken orally.

Besvil 200 Octacap contains two active ingredients:

• Fluticasone Furoate (200 mcg): As a synthetic corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory activity, it binds to glucocorticoid receptors in your body. This action leads to a reduction in the release of substances that cause inflammation and an increase in substances that counter inflammation. As a result, it reduces inflammation in your airways.

• Vilanterol (25 mcg): Classified as a long-acting beta2 adrenergic agonist (LABA), vilanterol stimulates an enzyme inside cells called adenylyl cyclase. This action increases cyclic3',5'adenosine monophosphate (AMP) levels inside cells. The increased AMP levels relax the muscles around your airways and inhibit the release of substances from cells that cause immediate hypersensitivity reactions. This dual action makes breathing easier by keeping your airways open.

The combination of fluticasone furoate and vilanterol in Besvil 200 Octacap offers additive efficacy, improving lung function and symptom management more than either component alone. The corticosteroid reduces underlying inflammation, while the LABA ensures prolonged airway opening.

• Store Besvil 200 Octacap at room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 25°C.

• Protect the capsules from light and moisture; keep them in their original packaging until use.

• Keep this medicine out of sight and reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date on the package before using the capsule.

• If you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma, avoid being around smoke or dust, as these can irritate your lungs and make your condition worse.

• Consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help boost your immune system, reducing the potential for respiratory infections.
