EVOCORT 200MCG ROTACAP 30'S

How EVOCORT 200MCG ROTACAP 30'S Works

• EVOCORT 200MCG ROTACAP 30'S contains budesonide, a corticosteroid, as its active ingredient. It works primarily by reducing inflammation in the lungs. When inhaled, budesonide acts locally in the airways to suppress the release of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and chemokines. These mediators are responsible for the symptoms of asthma and other respiratory conditions.
• Budesonide achieves its anti-inflammatory effects by binding to glucocorticoid receptors in the cells lining the airways. Once bound, the budesonide-receptor complex translocates to the nucleus of the cell, where it interacts with DNA to modify gene expression. This process leads to a decrease in the production of inflammatory proteins and an increase in the production of anti-inflammatory proteins.
• Specifically, budesonide reduces the number and activity of inflammatory cells, such as mast cells, eosinophils, and lymphocytes, in the airways. It also decreases the permeability of the capillaries in the lungs, which reduces swelling and mucus production. This combined action helps to open up the airways, making it easier to breathe.
• The Rotacap delivery system ensures that the budesonide is delivered directly to the lungs, maximizing its therapeutic effect while minimizing systemic side effects. When you inhale through the Rotacap device, the capsule is pierced, and the micronized budesonide powder is dispersed into the air stream, allowing it to reach the small airways deep within the lungs. Regular and proper use of EVOCORT 200MCG ROTACAP 30'S, as prescribed by your doctor, helps to control asthma symptoms and prevent exacerbations.

Common side effects of Evocort 200mcg Rotacaps may include: Hoarseness of voice, sore throat, oral thrush (fungal infection of the mouth), cough, and headache. Less common but potentially serious side effects include: paradoxical bronchospasm (wheezing or difficulty breathing immediately after using the inhaler), signs of an allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing), decreased bone mineral density (with long-term use), eye problems such as cataracts or glaucoma, and suppression of adrenal function (leading to fatigue, weakness, nausea, vomiting).

• If you miss a dose of EVOCORT 200MCG ROTACAP, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.
• If you are not sure what to do, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

• Keep EVOCORT 200MCG ROTACAP 1X30 away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store EVOCORT 200MCG ROTACAP 1X30 in a refrigerator (2 - 8°C). Do not freeze.

• **Understanding Evocort Rotacaps:** Evocort 200mcg Rotacaps contain Budesonide, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs. They are prescribed to manage asthma and other respiratory conditions. Always use this medication exactly as your doctor has instructed to ensure optimal results.
• **Proper Inhalation Technique is Key:** Ensure you're using your rotacap device correctly. Breathe out fully before placing the rotacap into the device. Inhale deeply and steadily through the device to ensure the medication reaches your lungs. Hold your breath for 5-10 seconds after inhaling, then exhale slowly. If unsure, ask your doctor or pharmacist for a demonstration.
• **Consistency is Crucial:** For best results, use Evocort 200mcg Rotacaps at the same time each day, as prescribed by your doctor. Consistent use helps maintain stable control of your respiratory symptoms, preventing flare-ups.
• **Oral Hygiene Matters:** Rinse your mouth with water after each use of Evocort Rotacaps. This helps prevent oral thrush (a fungal infection in the mouth) and reduces the risk of hoarseness or sore throat, which can be potential side effects.
• **Storage is Important:** Store your Evocort Rotacaps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep them out of reach of children. Proper storage ensures the medication remains effective until its expiration date. Discard any unused rotacaps safely once they have expired or are no longer needed.
• **Carry a Rescue Inhaler:** Evocort is a maintenance medication and may not provide immediate relief during an asthma attack. Always carry a rescue inhaler (like albuterol) for quick relief of sudden symptoms. Consult your doctor about the appropriate use of both medications.
• **Regular Check-ups are Essential:** Maintain regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your respiratory health and adjust your medication dosage as needed. Regular monitoring helps ensure that your asthma or respiratory condition is well-managed and that any potential side effects are addressed promptly.

• EVOCORT 200MCG ROTACAP 30'S is administered via inhalation. Therefore, food is unlikely to affect the way this medicine works.
• Consult your doctor if you have any concerns regarding food interactions.
