Foracort 400 Inhaler 1s

The Formoterol (6mcg) in Foracort 400 Inhaler is a long-acting bronchodilator, which works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, widening the air passages, and making it easier to breathe. It has a quick onset of action and provides relief for up to 12 hours, making it effective for both acute symptoms and long-term control of asthma and COPD. Budesonide (400mcg) is a corticosteroid that helps to reduce inflammation in the airways, which is a key cause of breathing difficulties in asthma and COPD patients. It reduces the swelling and irritation, helping to prevent asthma attacks and control long-term symptoms. Together, these two components work synergistically to improve breathing and lung function.
