Foracort 200 Rotacap

Product Overview
Foracort 200 Rotacap combines two active ingredients in one inhaler to help manage long-term respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by reducing inflammation and relaxing the muscles around the airways, allowing easier airflow and helping you breathe more comfortably.

Your doctor will advise you on how often to use this inhaler. While some relief may be noticed within a few days, full benefits are usually seen after several weeks of consistent use. It’s important to continue using the medicine as prescribed, even if you feel better, as it helps prevent symptoms from worsening. This inhaler is not meant for sudden breathing issues—use a rescue inhaler in such cases. Proper inhaler technique is essential for the medicine to work effectively.

Common side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, and respiratory infections. These are generally mild and resolve as your body adjusts, but if they persist or cause concern, consult your doctor. Rinsing your mouth or brushing your teeth after use may help reduce some side effects. Rare but serious side effects can occur, so speak with your doctor if you notice anything unusual.

Inform your healthcare provider if you have kidney or liver issues before starting treatment so that they can adjust the dosage if needed. Additionally, discuss its use if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

How to Use
Do not swallow the rotacap. Follow the instructions provided by your doctor and on the label. Insert the capsule into the base of the inhaler device, not into the mouthpiece. Twist the mouthpiece until it clicks, then inhale deeply through the mouthpiece and hold your breath for up to 10 seconds. If powder remains, repeat the process.

How It Works
This inhaler contains Formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles, and Budesonide, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation. Together, they help open the airways and ease breathing.
