Formoterol Fumarate 6 mcg + Budesonide 200 mcg Rota caps
₹165.00
The combination of Formoterol Fumarate 6 mcg + Budesonide 200 mcg in rotacaps is an inhaled medication used for the long-term management of asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It is not for sudden relief of acute breathing problems, for which a rescue inhaler should be used.
Key Information
- Active Ingredients:
- Formoterol Fumarate (6 mcg): A long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (LABA) or bronchodilator. It relaxes the muscles around the airways to open them up and make breathing easier.
- Budesonide (200 mcg): An inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation (swelling and irritation) in the lungs.
- Uses: This combination therapy helps to prevent symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing in patients with moderate to severe persistent asthma and COPD.
- Administration: The medicine comes as a powder in a capsule (rotacap) that must be placed into a special inhaler device (such as a Rotahaler, which can be found on sites like Apollo Pharmacy) for inhalation. The capsule should never be swallowed.
- Common Brand Names: In India, this dosage is available under brand names such as FORAcort 200 Rotacap and Formadax 6mcg/200mcg Rotacap.
How to Use
- Use the medication regularly as prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel well.
- Follow the instructions provided with your specific inhaler device carefully.
- After each use, rinse your mouth with water and spit it out to help prevent a fungal infection in the mouth/throat (oral thrush), which is a common side effect.
Important Precautions
- Not a Rescue Inhaler: This medication is for long-term control and does not provide immediate relief for sudden breathing problems or an asthma attack. Always carry a separate rescue inhaler (short-acting bronchodilator) for acute symptoms.
- Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor about your full medical history, especially if you have heart conditions, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid problems, glaucoma, cataracts, osteoporosis, liver problems, or a history of seizures.
- Do Not Stop Abruptly: Do not stop using this medicine without consulting your doctor, as it can worsen your condition.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
