CompositionQUIKHALE FB 200 CAPSULE 30 is a medicine used for the long-term management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It helps control symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, breathlessness, and chest tightness and reduces the risk of flare-ups.
It contains budesonide and formoterol, which belong to groups of medicines called corticosteroids and long-acting bronchodilators. Budesonide reduces inflammation in the airways, while formoterol relaxes the airway muscles to keep them open. The capsule is not swallowed; it is used with an inhaler device so the medicine can be breathed in. It is used regularly, not as a reliever for sudden breathlessness.
Some general measures can help alongside this medicine. These include quitting smoking, having any recommended vaccinations, and following any breathing plan your doctor has given you.
Before using this medicine, tell your doctor about any heart problems, diabetes, or other medicines you take. Rinse your mouth after each use to reduce throat irritation and mouth thrush, keep a separate reliever inhaler for sudden breathlessness, and do not stop using it abruptly. Use it regularly even when you feel well, and check your inhaler technique with your doctor or pharmacist.
