Fortide Inhaler (200mcg/6mcg) 120 Doses
Fortide Inhaler is a pressurized Metered Dose Inhaler (pMDI) designed for the long-term maintenance treatment of respiratory conditions such as asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Each actuation delivers a combination of two active ingredients: Budesonide (200mcg) and Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate (6mcg).
How Fortide Inhaler Works
Fortide works through its dual-action formula:
- Budesonide is a corticosteroid that helps reduce and prevent inflammation and swelling in the airways.
- Formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the respiratory tract, making it easier to breathe for up to 12 hours.
This combination is effective for patients whose symptoms are not well-controlled with a single inhaler or for those who require both a corticosteroid and a long-acting bronchodilator.
Dosage and Administration
Fortide Inhaler is typically prescribed for regular use, often 1 to 2 inhalations twice daily. It is important to use this medication exactly as directed by your doctor. After each use, it is recommended to rinse your mouth with water and spit it out to prevent throat irritation or oral thrush.
Important Note: Fortide is a maintenance medication and should not be used as a rescue inhaler for sudden, acute asthma attacks. Always keep a fast-acting rescue inhaler with you for emergencies.
