Foracort Inhaler 200 CFC-Free is a combination medication used for the maintenance treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains two active ingredients: budesonide (200 mcg), which is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways, and formoterol (6 mcg), which is a long-acting bronchodilator that helps open the airways.
Main Use
Foracort 200 is used to control and prevent asthma symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. It is also prescribed to manage symptoms in patients with COPD. It is not suitable for the immediate relief of acute asthma attacks.
How It Works
Budesonide works by reducing swelling and irritation in the lungs. Formoterol helps to relax the muscles around the airways, making it easier to breathe. This combination provides both anti-inflammatory and bronchodilating effects.
Dosage and Usage
This inhaler is usually taken twice daily as prescribed by a healthcare provider. It should be used regularly for the best results. Do not use it to treat sudden asthma symptoms; a separate fast-acting inhaler should be used for that purpose.
Common Side Effects
- Throat irritation
- Hoarseness
- Headache
- Tremors or increased heart rate
- Oral thrush (a fungal infection in the mouth)
To prevent oral thrush, rinse your mouth with water after each use.
Precautions
Do not use Foracort 200 more often than prescribed. Inform your doctor if you have heart problems, high blood pressure, or infections in the lungs or mouth. Use with caution during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
