Foracort 400 Rotacaps contains two active ingredients:

• Budesonide (400 mcg): As a corticosteroid, budesonide works by reducing inflammation and swelling in your airways. It accomplishes this by binding to glucocorticoid receptors in your body, leading to the suppression of substances that cause inflammation.

• Formoterol Fumarate (6 mcg): Formoterol fumarate belongs to a group of medicines called bronchodilators. It works by relaxing the muscles in your airways, making it easier for you to breathe. It achieves this by stimulating beta2-adrenergic receptors present in the lungs, resulting in the relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle.

• Store Foracort 400 Rotacaps at room temperature, ideally below 25°C.

• If you're managing asthma or COPD with Foracort 400 Rotacaps, avoid exposure to allergens like dust, pollen, pet dander, or smoke that can trigger symptoms.
