Composition

Budesonide (100 Mcg) + Formoterol Fumarate (6 Mcg)

Foracort 100 Rotacaps 30 are used for the long-term management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It combines budesonide (a corticosteroid) and formoterol (a long-acting bronchodilator) to reduce inflammation and relax airway muscles, improving breathing.

This medication also serves a crucial role in the maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction and reducing exacerbations in patients with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema.

It's important to consult your doctor for precise dosage instructions before you begin taking this medicine. Always inform your doctor about any ongoing medications or pre-existing diseases. If you notice any side effects, promptly notify your doctor. For best results, continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Foracort 100 Rotacaps 30 may cause the following side effects:

Nasopharyngitis
Headache
Upper respiratory tract infection
Throat irritation
Sinusitis
Oral Thrush: This could lead to a fungal infection in your mouth and throat.
Hoarseness and changes in voice
Bronchitis: This refers to inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from your lungs.
Cough
Nausea and vomiting

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Foracort 100 Rotacaps 30. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Oral Thrush: Rinse your mouth with water without swallowing after each inhalation to help prevent this.
Nausea and Vomiting: You might find that taking this medicine with or after food can help manage these symptoms.

Foracort 100 Rotacaps 30 contains two active ingredients:

Budesonide (100 mcg): As an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid, budesonide works by binding to glucocorticoid receptors. This process inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory mediators and cytokines, which results in reduced inflammation in the airways.
Formoterol Fumarate (6 mcg): This component falls under the class of long-acting beta2-adrenergic receptor agonists (LABA). It stimulates intracellular adenyl cyclase, which causes relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and inhibition of release of mediators of immediate hypersensitivity from cells. By doing so, it improves airflow and makes breathing easier.

If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, caution is advised when using Foracort 100 Rotacaps 30. It's recommended to consult your doctor before starting this medicine.
