FORMONIDE 100 RESPICAP 30'S

How FORMONIDE 100 RESPICAP 30'S Works

• FORMONIDE 100 RESPICAP 30'S is a combination medication containing two active ingredients: Formoterol and Budesonide. This combination is designed to manage and prevent symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Each component works differently to improve breathing and reduce inflammation in the airways.
• Budesonide, a corticosteroid, is the primary anti-inflammatory component. When inhaled, Budesonide reduces inflammation in the airways by suppressing the release of inflammatory substances. It inhibits the action of cells like eosinophils, mast cells, and lymphocytes, which play a key role in causing airway inflammation. By reducing inflammation, Budesonide helps to decrease swelling and mucus production in the airways, making it easier to breathe. Regular use of Budesonide helps to prevent asthma attacks and COPD exacerbations.
• Formoterol, a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (LABA), serves as a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways in the lungs, which allows the airways to widen. Formoterol stimulates beta-2 receptors located on the smooth muscle cells lining the airways. This stimulation leads to the activation of an enzyme called adenylyl cyclase, which increases the production of cyclic AMP (cAMP). Increased cAMP levels cause the smooth muscles to relax, resulting in bronchodilation. The bronchodilation effect of Formoterol helps to relieve symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
• The combined action of Budesonide and Formoterol offers both immediate relief and long-term control of respiratory symptoms. Formoterol provides quick relief by opening up the airways, while Budesonide works to reduce inflammation and prevent future exacerbations. Regular and consistent use of FORMONIDE 100 RESPICAP 30'S, as prescribed by a healthcare professional, can significantly improve lung function, reduce the frequency of asthma attacks or COPD flare-ups, and enhance overall quality of life for individuals with these respiratory conditions. It is important to use this medication exactly as directed and to follow the prescribed dosage schedule for optimal results.
