Uses of Foracort 100 Rotacap

How Foracort 100 Rotacap works
Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces airway inflammation, swelling and mucus production. Formoterol is a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) that relaxes bronchial smooth muscle to keep airways open for easier breathing. Together they improve long-term symptom control and reduce flare-ups.
How to take Foracort 100 Rotacap
For inhalation use only with a compatible rotahaler/rotacap inhaler device; do not swallow the capsule. Use exactly as prescribed, usually 1 rotacap inhalation once or twice daily at the same time each day. Rinse mouth and gargle with water after each use and spit out to reduce risk of oral thrush.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
