Uses of Formost 400 Inhaler
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Benefits of Formost 400 Inhaler
- In Asthma
- Formost 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
- Formost 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.
- In Eczema
- Formost calms the inflammation behind an eczema flare, quickly reducing the redness, itch and weeping so the skin can heal and the scratch-itch cycle is broken.
- In Dermatitis
- Formost settles the red, itchy, inflamed skin of dermatitis, whether from an allergy, irritant or contact with something the skin reacts to.
- In Psoriasis
- Formost reduces the thickening, scaling and redness of psoriasis plaques and relieves the itch.
- In Skin inflammation and itching
- Formost relieves itching and inflammation of the skin from insect bites, rashes and reactions, so the skin can settle.
How Formost 400 Inhaler works
Formost 400 Inhaler is a combination of two medicines: Formoterol and Mometasone. Formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. Mometasone is a steroid. It works by stopping the release of certain chemical messengers that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.
How to take Formost 400 Inhaler
Check the label for directions before use. Shake the inhaler. While you are breathing in from mouth, press down on the inhaler one time to release the medication and hold your breath for 10 seconds. Repeat until you have inhaled the number of puffs as suggested by the doctor.Afterwards, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water and spit it out.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause a racing heart, marked tremor, headache and a fall in blood potassium. It can suppress the body's own steroid production when it is used for a long time over large areas, especially in children. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Warnings and precautions
Know which of your inhalers is the reliever and which is the preventer. A preventer must be used every day even when you feel well; a reliever is for symptoms. Seek emergency care if your reliever is not working, if you cannot speak a full sentence, or if you are using the reliever far more often than usual. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after every steroid inhaler dose to prevent thrush and hoarseness. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to watch your technique — poor technique is the commonest reason an inhaler seems not to work. Use a spacer if one has been advised, particularly for children. Use it only on the area and for the number of days your doctor specified. Potent steroid creams thin the skin permanently when used for too long. Never use a potent steroid cream on the face, the groin or the underarms unless your doctor has specifically told you to — the skin there is thin and absorbs much more. Do not use it on an infection. A steroid on ringworm, impetigo or herpes makes the infection worse while hiding it. Do not use leftover cream on a new rash, and never pass it to someone else. Stop and see your doctor if the area becomes more painful, weepy or crusted.
Do not take Formost if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for anyone with a known allergy to the propellant used in the inhaler. Not for untreated bacterial, fungal or viral skin infections. Not for use in or around the eyes.
Interactions with other medicines
Beta blockers, including eye drops for glaucoma, can tighten the airways and reduce the effect of your reliever. No significant interactions are expected from preparations used on the skin.
How to store Formost 400 Inhaler
Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not puncture or burn the canister, even when empty. Keep out of the reach of children.
