Uses

Asthma
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Benefits

In Asthma: Formosone 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: Formosone 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.

Side effects

Most side effects of Formosone are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Nausea Vomiting Respiratory tract infection Fungal infections in the mouth Headache Hoarseness of voice Sore throat Cough Musculoskeletal (bone, muscle or joint) pain Increased heart rate

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

How to use

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.

How it works

Formosone 250 CFC Free Inhaler is a combination of two medicines: Formoterol and Fluticasone Propionate. Formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. Fluticasone Propionate 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.

Warnings & 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.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause a racing heart, marked tremor, headache and a fall in blood potassium. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
