Formoterol Fumarate 6 mcg and Budesonide 400 mcg Powder for Inhalation IP DPI Capsules are a prescription combination medication used for the long-term management and treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They are not for use during sudden, acute breathing problems. 
Key Information
  • Active Ingredients & Function
    • Formoterol Fumarate: A long-acting bronchodilator (LABA) that relaxes the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe.
    • Budesonide: A corticosteroid (steroid) that reduces inflammation and swelling in the lungs.
    • Together, they provide both rapid and long-term relief from symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness.
  • Usage Instructions
    • This medication should be used regularly as directed by a healthcare professional, even if you feel well.
    • It must be used with a compatible Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) device (such as a Rotahaler); do not swallow the capsule whole.
    • Crucially, it does not relieve sudden symptoms. You must use a separate, fast-acting (rescue) inhaler for acute asthma or COPD attacks.
    • Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after each use to help prevent a fungal infection in the mouth/throat (oral thrush).
