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.
Dosage & Directions
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.
