Information about Fomtiden 400mcg Inhaler

Fomtide 12mcg/400mcg Inhaler is a combination medication used in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It typically contains two active ingredients:

1. Formoterol Fumarate (12 mcg): A long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) that helps to relax the muscles around the airways, making it easier to breathe.

2. Budesonide (400 mcg): A corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways, helping to prevent asthma attacks or flare-ups of COPD.

Key Uses:

• Asthma: Helps in controlling and preventing symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and asthma attacks.
• COPD: Assists in reducing the frequency of exacerbations and improving lung function.

How to Use:

• Dosage: Typically prescribed by a healthcare provider based on the severity of the condition.
• Administration: It's an inhaler, so it's usually taken by inhaling the medication directly into the lungs.

Side Effects:

• Common: Headache, throat irritation, cough.
• Serious: Increased heart rate, high blood pressure, or worsening breathing problems (rare).

This medication should be used regularly, even if you feel fine, and not as a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and frequency
