Foracort

Foracort Inhaler (Budesonide/Formoterol) is used to manage respiratory conditions such as asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). It does this by alleviating breathing and wheezing problems. Its primary function is to relax the muscles and reduce any inflammation in the airways, enabling the patient to breathe more naturally. Please note that this inhaler does not help manage or prevent asthma attacks.

Only administer Foracort Inhaler (Budesonide/Formoterol) as directed by your physician. Never use incorrectly as doing so may worsen your condition. Never share with others, even if they have been diagnosed with the same condition. Dosage will vary depending on the condition and the individual patient, however typically patients are prescribed 1 to 4 inhalations per dose, either once or twice a day.

Before administering, gently shake the inhaler for approximately 5 to 10 seconds. When you use a new canister for the first time, or have not used an old canister for a few days, prime the inhaler prior to use by releasing a few sprays into the air.
