Pulmosmart 400 Pulmicaps 30

Pulmosmart 400 Pulmicaps 30 is prescribed to treat symptoms of obstructive airway diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It helps manage symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, breathlessness, and chest tightness. It is used for long-term asthma management, preventing symptoms in patients not fully controlled by corticosteroids alone. Additionally, it treats airflow obstruction in COPD and reduces flare-ups in COPD patients.

Here are some steps to follow while using Pulmosmart 400 Pulmicaps 30:

• This medicine is taken by oral inhalation only using a compatible inhaler device.
• Ensure you exhale fully before placing the mouthpiece in your mouth.
• Take a rapid deep breath and hold it for about 5 to 10 seconds before exhaling slowly.
• Rinse your mouth after each use to prevent thrush, a type of oral fungal infection.
• For specific advice on how to use your inhaler device, please consult your doctor.

Pulmosmart 400 Pulmicaps 30 contains two active ingredients:

• Budesonide (400 mcg): As an inhaled corticosteroid, budesonide works by reducing inflammation in your lungs. It binds to glucocorticoid receptors, limiting the release of substances that cause inflammation and increasing the production of proteins that combat inflammation. This helps to reduce airway sensitivity and mucus production.
• Formoterol Fumarate (6 mcg): This ingredient is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) that relaxes the muscles in your airways. It stimulates beta2-adrenergic receptors in the lungs, leading to an increase in a specific enzyme called adenylate cyclase. This, in turn, boosts cyclic-AMP within your cells, resulting in relaxed bronchial muscles, decreased release of allergic response mediators, and increased clearance of mucus. Together, these two components offer more effective control of asthma and COPD than either component alone.

• Store Pulmosmart 400 Pulmicaps 30 at a stable room temperature, ideally between 30°C.

• Ensure the medicine is out of reach of children.
• Always check the expiry date on the package before using the medicine.

• If you're managing asthma or COPD with Pulmosmart 400 Pulmicaps 30, try to avoid exposure to known allergens in your diet and environment, such as dust mites or certain foods, that can trigger symptoms.
• Regular gentle exercise, like walking or yoga, can help improve lung capacity and overall health. However, it's important to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
