Maxiflo Forte Rotacap

Product Overview

Maxiflo Forte Rotacap is prescribed for the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which are conditions that cause breathing difficulties such as wheezing and shortness of breath. The medication works by relaxing the muscles around the airways, helping air flow freely for easier breathing.

Your doctor will guide you on the appropriate dose and frequency of use. It is crucial to use the lowest effective dose to control symptoms. Results may begin to show within a few days, but full effects are often seen after several weeks of regular use. Continue using this medicine as directed even if you feel well because stopping it may worsen your respiratory condition. This medicine is not intended for sudden relief during an asthma attack; in such situations, a quick-acting inhaler should be used. Proper inhalation technique is essential to ensure the medication works as expected.

Side Effects

Some side effects may occur but are typically mild and short-lived as your body adapts to the treatment. These include:

Nausea and vomiting

Respiratory infections

Headache

Hoarseness

Sore throat

Cough

Muscle, bone, or joint pain

Increased heart rate

If these symptoms arise, do not stop using the medicine but consult your doctor. Rinsing your mouth after each use can reduce some of these side effects. Rare but more serious side effects may occur; speak with your healthcare provider if you are concerned.

Precautions

Before using this medicine, discuss with your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any kidney or liver conditions. This will help ensure the right dose and safety for you.

Uses

Maxiflo Forte Rotacap is used to treat:

Asthma

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Benefits

This medication helps keep the airways open by relaxing muscles and reducing inflammation. It alleviates symptoms such as chest tightness, wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing, making daily activities easier. It is a safe and effective treatment when used as prescribed. The effects are usually felt within minutes and may last for several hours.

How to Use

Do not swallow the capsules. Follow the instructions on the label before use. Place the capsule in the base of the inhaler device (rotahaler), ensuring it is not placed in the mouthpiece. Twist the mouthpiece until it clicks and inhale deeply through it. Hold your breath for up to 10 seconds. If any powder remains, repeat the process.

How It Works

Maxiflo Forte Rotacap combines two active ingredients:

Formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles and widens the airways for easier breathing.

Fluticasone Propionate, a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation by blocking chemicals responsible for swelling in the airways.

Together, these ingredients help improve airflow and alleviate breathing difficulties.
