FORACORT 100 Inhaler: Dual-Action Relief for Asthma and COPD
Description:
FORACORT 100 Inhaler is a combination inhaler 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 helps open the airways, making breathing easier.
Together, they provide powerful control over asthma symptoms and reduce the risk of flare-ups and hospitalizations. This inhaler is a maintenance therapy, not intended for acute asthma attacks.
How to Use:
-
Shake the inhaler well before each use.
-
Breathe out fully.
-
Place the mouthpiece in your mouth, form a tight seal with your lips, and press the canister while inhaling deeply.
-
Hold your breath for 5–10 seconds, then exhale slowly.
-
Wait 30 seconds if a second dose is prescribed, then repeat the steps.
-
Rinse your mouth with water after each use to prevent oral thrush.
Use the inhaler daily at the same time(s) as directed by your doctor, even if you feel well.
