Foracort 100 Inhaler 120Mdi

Foracort 100 Inhaler is used for the regular maintenance treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Uses of Foracort 100 Inhaler are:

• Asthma Maintenance: Helps prevent wheezing, chest tightness and breathlessness.
• COPD Maintenance: Helps control ongoing COPD symptoms and reduce flare-ups in eligible patients.
• Airway Control: Reduces inflammation and keeps the airways open for easier breathing.

To use the Foracort 100 Inhaler correctly, follow these steps:

• Administer the inhalations of the medicine as advised by the doctor.

• Ensure that all inhalations are administered through the mouth.

• After using the inhaler, rinse your mouth with water without swallowing to reduce the risk of oral thrush.

• Keep track of the dose indicator on your inhaler. When it turns red, it's time to replace your inhaler.

Foracort 100 Inhaler contains two active ingredients:

• Formoterol Fumarate (6 mcg): Classified as a long-acting beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist (LABA), formoterol fumarate relaxes the muscles around your airways. This action improves breathing by widening the airways and making it easier for air to get in and out of your lungs.

• Budesonide (100 mcg): This is an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid that works directly on your airways. It decreases inflammation by inhibiting multiple inflammatory genes, reducing swelling and irritation in the lungs.

• Store your Foracort 100 Inhaler in a dry place, ideally at room temperature below 30°C.

• Avoid placing it in extreme heat, cold, or damp locations.

• Keep it out of the reach of children for safety reasons.

• If you have been prescribed Foracort 100 Inhaler for asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it would be beneficial to reduce exposure to allergens in your diet, such as dust and pet dander.

• Regular gentle exercise, like walking or yoga, can help improve lung function and overall health.
