The rotacap containing Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate IP 6mcg + Fluticasone Propionate IP 250mcg is a combination maintenance medication used to treat symptoms of asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It is a prescription-only medicine and should not be used as a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. 
Key Information
  • Active Ingredients & Action: This combination includes Formoterol Fumarate, a long-acting bronchodilator, and Fluticasone Propionate, an inhaled corticosteroid. Formoterol relaxes airway muscles, while Fluticasone reduces inflammation. Together, they improve breathing and reduce flare-ups.
  • Usage: This medication is for long-term treatment and should be used consistently at the same time daily, even when symptom-free. It is for inhalation only using a dry powder inhaler device, and the capsule should not be swallowed.
How to Use
Proper use of the inhaler device (like a Rotahaler) is crucial. This generally involves loading the capsule, piercing it, exhaling fully, inhaling deeply through the device, holding your breath, and checking that the powder is gone. Always rinse your mouth with water after use to prevent oral fungal infections. 
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects may include headache, sore throat, cough, nausea, respiratory infection, increased heart rate, tremors, or oral thrush. Rinsing your mouth after use helps prevent oral thrush. If you experience severe side effects or a sudden worsening of breathing, seek medical help immediately. 
Consult your healthcare provider for complete information and to ensure this medication is safe for you, as it is a prescription medicine and requires a review of your medical history.
