Description
Foracort Forte Inhaler
Product Description
Foracort Forte inhaler is a combination inhalation therapy used for the maintenance treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains budesonide, a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation in the airways, and formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator that helps keep the airways open. This dual-action formulation supports improved airflow and helps reduce the frequency of breathing difficulties when used consistently as directed by a healthcare professional.
How Foracort Forte Inhaler Works
This inhaler delivers medication directly to the lungs for targeted action. Budesonide works to reduce swelling and irritation in the airway lining, while formoterol relaxes the muscles surrounding the airways. Together, they help maintain clearer air passages and support easier breathing over time.
