Uses of Aerocort Forte Rotacap
- Maintenance treatment of asthma
- Breathlessness
- Chest tightness
Benefits of Aerocort Forte Rotacap
- In Asthma
- Aerocort Forte opens the airways or calms the inflammation inside them, depending on its type, so breathing is easier and attacks are fewer. Delivered straight into the lungs, it works where it is needed with very little reaching the rest of the body.
- In Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Aerocort Forte relaxes the airways so that air moves in and out more easily, reducing breathlessness and letting you walk further and do more before you have to stop.
How Aerocort Forte Rotacap works
Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces airway inflammation and swelling, helping prevent asthma/COPD symptoms. Levosalbutamol is a short-acting beta-2 agonist that relaxes airway muscles to quickly relieve bronchospasm and improve airflow.
How to take Aerocort Forte Rotacap
Use only with a rotahaler/rotacap inhalation device as prescribed. Inhale the contents of the rotacap; do not swallow. Use at the same time each day; rinse mouth and gargle after each use to reduce risk of oral thrush. If also using a reliever inhaler, follow your doctor’s sequence and timing advice.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
