Foracort G Inhaler

Product Overview

Foracort G Inhaler combines three medicines in a single inhaler and is used to manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It helps alleviate symptoms like coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath by acting on different pathways within the lungs.

This medicine should be taken exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Consistent and long-term use is necessary to achieve the best results. Even if you start feeling better, you should not stop using it without consulting your doctor, as doing so may worsen your breathing problems.

Foracort G Inhaler is generally considered safe, but some common side effects may occur, including dizziness, headache, nausea, and nasal congestion. These symptoms are usually mild and tend to improve as your body adjusts to the medication. If any side effects persist or are troublesome, it is important to contact your healthcare provider.

Before starting this treatment, inform your doctor about any preexisting health conditions and all other medications you are taking. Also, if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before use. Smoking should be avoided while using this inhaler, as it can further harm the lungs and aggravate COPD symptoms.

How It Works

Foracort G Inhaler contains:

Glycopyrrolate, an anticholinergic that blocks acetylcholine and prevents airway constriction.

Formoterol, a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles to widen the breathing passages.

Budesonide, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and blocks chemical signals that cause swelling and allergic reactions.

Together, these medicines work synergistically to improve airflow and reduce lung inflammation.
