Foracort G 400 Rotacap 10 contains three active ingredients that work together to improve breathing:

• Budesonide (400 mcg): This corticosteroid reduces airway inflammation by suppressing inflammatory cells and chemicals in the lungs. It helps decrease swelling and mucus production in the airways, making breathing easier.

• Glycopyrrolate (25 mcg): This anticholinergic agent blocks muscarinic receptors in the airways. By doing so, it prevents the narrowing of airways and reduces mucus secretion, providing additional bronchodilation through a mechanism different from that of formoterol.

• Formoterol fumarate (12 mcg): As a long-acting beta-2 agonist, it relaxes the muscles around the airways. This bronchodilator works by attaching to specific receptors called beta-2 receptors on airway muscles, causing them to relax and widen for up to 12 hours.

• Store Foracort G 400 Rotacap 10 at room temperature below 25°C.

• Keep it in the original packaging until ready to use.

• Protect it from moisture and direct sunlight.

• Store away from children's reach.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Quit smoking completely, as it significantly worsens COPD and reduces the effectiveness of your medicine.

• Avoid environmental irritants such as dust, strong fumes, and air pollution, as these can trigger breathing difficulties and exacerbate your respiratory condition.
