Foracort G 400 Rotacap

Product Overview

Foracort G 400 Rotacap combines three active ingredients in one inhaler to help manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works through multiple mechanisms to ease breathing and reduce symptoms like coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

The inhaler should be used exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Regular use is essential to achieve the full benefits of the treatment. Even if you start feeling better, you should continue using the medicine unless your doctor advises otherwise. Stopping the medication prematurely may lead to worsening respiratory symptoms.

Foracort G 400 Rotacap is considered safe and effective, though some individuals may experience side effects such as dizziness, headache, vomiting, or nasal congestion. These are typically mild and may fade as your body adjusts to the treatment. If side effects persist or you are concerned, consult your doctor for advice.

Before starting this treatment, it’s important to inform your doctor about any existing health issues or other medications you are taking. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss the potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using this medicine. Smoking should be avoided during treatment as it can further damage the lungs and worsen COPD symptoms.

How to Use

Do not swallow the capsules.

Follow the instructions provided on the label.

Twist the mouthpiece until it clicks into place.

Inhale deeply through the mouthpiece and hold your breath for up to 10 seconds.

Repeat if necessary until the full dose is inhaled.

How It Works

Foracort G 400 Rotacap contains:

Glycopyrrolate, an anticholinergic that blocks acetylcholine activity, reducing bronchoconstriction.

Formoterol, a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles and widens the air passages.

Budesonide, a steroid that decreases inflammation and blocks the production of chemicals responsible for swelling and allergic reactions.

These combined actions improve airflow, reduce inflammation, and support easier breathing.
