How Does Foracort Rotacaps 400 Mcg + 6 Mcg Work?

• Foracort Rotacaps 400 Mcg + 6 Mcg utilizes the synergetic action of both its active ingredients, Budesonide, and Formoterol.
• Budesonide is a local airway corticosteroid. It functions by inhibition of inflammation, a characteristic typical of asthma and COPD.
• Budesonide limits the synthesis of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins, that contribute to thickening and constriction of the airways.
• The budesonide reduces inflammation and thus controls such symptoms as wheezing, coughing, and difficulty in breathing.
• The bronchodilator formoterol is a long-acting beta-agonist. It acts through the binding to certain receptors called beta-2 adrenergic receptors on the smooth muscles of the airways.
• This relaxation of the airway muscles, in turn, causes widening of the air passages. To increase the size of the airways, formoterol is used to improve the flow of air and make breathing easier.
• Foracort Rotacaps 400 Mcg + 6 Mcg combines budesonide and formoterol to deliver both anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator effects.
• This dual action contributes to reduction of airway inflammation and consequently, airway opening improving the lung function and eliminating asthmatic or COPD symptoms.
• As it should be mentioned, Foracort Rotacaps 400 Mcg + 6 Mcg is a long-term treatment medication used to treat asthma or COPD.
• It is not meant to provide instant relief of acute symptoms or for use as a rescue inhaler. Whenever you take this medication, always adhere strictly to the given dosage and any directions you get from your healthcare provider.
