Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces airway inflammation and swelling. Formoterol is a long-acting beta2-agonist that relaxes bronchial muscles to keep airways open for easier breathing.

For inhalation use only with a compatible Rotahaler/rotacap inhaler device. Use exactly as prescribed, usually 1 rotacap twice daily; do not swallow the rotacap. Rinse mouth and gargle with water after each use to reduce risk of oral thrush; use regularly for best control and not for sudden breathlessness (keep a rescue inhaler if prescribed).
