FORACORT JUNIOR INHALER

FORACORT Junior Inhaler: Gentle & Effective Asthma Control for Children

Description:
FORACORT Junior Inhaler is specially formulated for children with asthma and contains a lower dose of medication suitable for pediatric use. It combines two active ingredients:

• Budesonide (50 mcg) – a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways.

• Formoterol fumarate (6 mcg) – a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles and improves airflow.

This inhaler is used as a maintenance therapy to help prevent asthma symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness. It is not intended for immediate relief during asthma attacks.

How to Use:

1. Shake the inhaler well before each use.

2. Let the child breathe out fully.

3. Place the mouthpiece in the child’s mouth and ensure a proper seal.

4. Press the canister while the child inhales slowly and deeply.

5. Hold the breath for about 5 seconds, then exhale gently.

6. Wait 30 seconds if a second dose is prescribed, then repeat.

7. Rinse the mouth with water after use to reduce the risk of oral thrush.

Children may need assistance from a parent or a spacer device for effective use. Use the inhaler daily, exactly as prescribed.
