FORACORT 100 Rotacap: Dual-Action Therapy for Asthma and COPD
Description:
FORACORT 100 Rotacap is a combination inhalation therapy used for the long-term management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains two active ingredients:
-
Budesonide (100 mcg) – an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways.
-
Formoterol fumarate (6 mcg) – a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles and improves airflow.
Together, these medications help control chronic respiratory conditions by reducing symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and breathlessness. FORACORT 100 is used as a preventive treatment, not for immediate relief during an asthma attack.
How to Use:
FORACORT 100 Rotacaps must be used only with a Rotahaler device.
Follow these steps:
-
Insert one Rotacap into the Rotahaler chamber.
-
Twist the Rotahaler to pierce the capsule.
-
Exhale completely away from the device.
-
Place the mouthpiece in your mouth and inhale deeply and forcefully.
-
Hold your breath for a few seconds, then exhale slowly.
-
Do not swallow the capsule.
-
Rinse your mouth with water after use to prevent oral thrush.
Use regularly as prescribed, usually once or twice daily.
