Foracort Inhaler 400 Description

Foracort Inhaler 400 is a combination inhaler used for the long-term management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains two active ingredients that work together to reduce airway inflammation and relax the muscles surrounding the airways, making breathing easier and helping prevent symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.

Use this inhaler exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Although you may notice some improvement within a few days, the full benefits are usually seen after regular use over several weeks. Continue using it even if you feel well, as stopping treatment without medical advice may cause your symptoms to worsen. This inhaler is not intended for the immediate relief of sudden breathing problems. In such cases, use your prescribed rescue inhaler.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, or if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

How Foracort Inhaler 400 Works
Foracort Inhaler 400 combines Formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes and widens the airways, with Budesonide, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by blocking the release of inflammatory chemicals. Together, these medicines improve airflow and help maintain better control of asthma and COPD symptoms.
