FORMOSONE 250MCG INHALER

How FORMOSONE 250MCG INHALER Works

• FORMOSONE 250MCG INHALER is a combination medicine used to relieve symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. It contains two active ingredients: Formoterol and Budesonide.
• Formoterol is a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA). It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways in the lungs, which allows the airways to open up. This makes it easier to breathe. Formoterol provides quick relief from bronchospasm (sudden constriction of the airways) and its effects can last for up to 12 hours.
• Budesonide is a corticosteroid. It works by reducing inflammation in the lungs. Inflammation is a key factor in asthma and COPD, as it causes the airways to narrow and produce excess mucus. By reducing inflammation, Budesonide helps to prevent asthma attacks and COPD flare-ups and improves overall lung function.
• When you inhale FORMOSONE 250MCG INHALER, both Formoterol and Budesonide are delivered directly to your lungs. Formoterol quickly opens the airways, providing immediate relief, while Budesonide works over time to reduce inflammation and prevent future symptoms. The combined effect of these two medications helps to control your asthma or COPD symptoms and improve your quality of life.
• The coordinated action of Formoterol and Budesonide addresses both the immediate bronchoconstriction and the underlying inflammation associated with respiratory conditions. Regular use, as prescribed by your doctor, is crucial to maintaining optimal control of your symptoms.
