Foracort 100 Inhaler

Product Overview

Foracort 100 Inhaler combines two active ingredients in one device to manage long-term respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It helps ease breathing by reducing inflammation in the airways and relaxing the surrounding muscles.

Your doctor will guide you on the frequency and dosage required. The medication may begin to show results after a few days, but its full effect may take several weeks of consistent use. It’s essential to use it regularly, even if you feel well, as this ensures better control over symptoms. Stopping treatment abruptly could worsen your condition. This inhaler is not designed to relieve sudden breathing difficulties; for such episodes, a rescue inhaler should be used. Proper inhaler technique is critical for the medication to work effectively.

Common side effects include headaches, nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, and respiratory tract infections. These are generally mild and resolve over time, but consult your doctor if they persist. Rinsing your mouth and throat after use can help prevent some side effects like oral fungal infections. There are rare but serious side effects that require medical attention—discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver conditions before starting treatment. Also, share details if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
