The **Foracort 400 Inhaler** is a combination medication containing **Formoterol 12mcg + Budesonide 400mcg** in a single inhaler. It is designed to manage the long-term symptoms of **asthma** and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), helping to make breathing easier. This inhaler works by reducing inflammation and relaxing the muscles in your airways, making it easier for air to flow.

Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding how often to use your **Foracort 400 Inhaler**. You may notice an improvement in your symptoms after a few days, but the full benefits typically become apparent after several weeks of regular use. It's crucial to use this medicine consistently, even if you feel well, as regular use helps prevent symptoms from worsening. The **Foracort 400 Inhaler** is a long-term control medication and should *not* be used to relieve sudden attacks of shortness of breath. For sudden breathing difficulties, always use your prescribed rescue inhaler. To ensure the **Foracort 400 Inhaler** works effectively, proper inhaler technique is essential.

Common side effects associated with the **Foracort 400 Inhaler** include headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, and respiratory tract infection. If you experience these, continue using the inhaler but consult your doctor. Rinsing your mouth and throat with water or brushing your teeth after each use can help prevent some side effects, such as oral fungal infections. If you are concerned about any side effects, especially serious or rare ones, speak to your doctor immediately.

Before starting treatment with **Foracort 400 Inhaler**, inform your doctor about any existing kidney or liver conditions so they can determine the most suitable dose. It is also important to tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.


Uses:

  1. Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
  2. Treatment and prevention of **Asthma**

Directions of Use

Always read the label and your doctor's instructions before using the **Foracort 400 Inhaler**. Shake the inhaler well before each use. As you begin to breathe in slowly and deeply through your mouth, press down firmly on the inhaler canister to release a puff of medication. Continue to breathe in steadily, then hold your breath for about 10 seconds, or as long as comfortably possible. Exhale slowly. Repeat these steps for the total number of puffs prescribed by your doctor. After completing your dose, it is very important to rinse your mouth thoroughly with water and spit it out to help prevent oral infections.
