Foracort Forte inhaler 12/400 mcg (120 mdi) is used long-term, twice daily, to control asthma symptoms and prevent wheezing in patients aged 12 years and older. It is typically prescribed for people with moderate to severe asthma requiring stronger maintenance therapy. Patients who experience frequent nighttime symptoms and flare-ups can benefit from this medication. Foracort forte helps people diagnosed with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
The inhaler medicine combines an inhaled corticosteroid, budesonide, which has anti-inflammatory properties, and a long-acting beta agonist (LABA), formoterol, which acts locally in the lungs as a bronchodilator. Budesonide reduces and prevents lung swelling and inflammation, whereas formoterol relaxes the muscles in your airways. This helps you breathe more easily. On the other hand, formoterol relaxes tightened airway muscles and helps keep the air passages open for up to twelve hours. This allows more air to move in and out. Â
The combination medicine works together to ease breathing and prevent future asthma attacks. Foracort forte inhaler prevents symptoms such as wheezing and chest tightness and protects against sudden worsening of asthma symptoms. Foracort forte is a maintenance inhaler, not a rescue inhaler. Hence, it should not be used for sudden breathing issues. It is always important to carry quick-relief inhalers, such as salbutamol, for emergencies.
Usage instructions of Formoterol Fumarate & Budesonide inhaler
Follow your doctor's advice when using the Foracort Forte inhaler 12/400 mcg. Usually, the dose depends on the condition, severity, and treatment response. The effect of this medicine may be noticeable after a few days of using the inhaler, but it will only offer full results after a few weeks. Foracort forte inhaler is easy to use and especially designed for accurate delivery of the medicine. Before using the inhaler, shake it well. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth and close your lips around it. Press the canister as you breathe in deeply and slowly. You are supposed to hold your breath for about 8 to 10 seconds to allow the medication to settle down in the lungs. Wash your mouth after each dosing to prevent fungal infection. Â If you have any doubts about using the Foracort forte inhaler, don't hesitate to contact your doctor.
Things to remember when using Formoterol Fumarate & Budesonide inhaler
Do not use Foracort Forte inhaler for the treatment of sudden asthma attacks. The use of this medication is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to formoterol, budesonide, or any other inactive ingredients. Let your doctor know if you have diabetes, infections, tuberculosis, high blood pressure, or heart disease. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Foracort forte inhaler only on medical advice. Avoid abruptly stopping the inhaler; reduce the dosage gradually if required. Always keep the inhaler clean and dry. Inform your healthcare professional if you are taking atenolol, propranolol, quinidine, procainamide, water tablets, digoxin, salbutamol, anti-Parkinson's drug, thyroid problems, HIV drugs, antidepressants, bronchodilators (salbutamol), and anti-histamines.
Side effects of Formoterol Fumarate & Budesonide inhaler
The most reported side effects associated with the use of Foracort forte Inhaler include nausea, headache, stomach discomfort, vomiting, and respiratory tract infection. If you develop any of these side effects, do not discontinue treatment; instead, discuss them with your doctor. It is possible to prevent some of these symptoms by simply washing your mouth and throat with running water or brushing your teeth after using the Foracort forte inhaler. Other rare side effects can be serious and even life-threatening.
Seek medical help right away if you develop side effects that become bothersome or do not resolve on their own. If you have been advised to consume steroid tablets to improve control over asthma or COPD, in that case, your doctor may recommend reducing the number of tablets you take once you begin treatment with the Foracort Forte inhaler. If you have been using steroid tablets for a prolonged duration, you may be advised to have blood tests regularly. When reducing the intake of steroid tablets, you may not feel well, though your asthma symptoms may improve. You might develop a runny or stuffy nose, rash, weakness, or muscle pain.
