Budesonide + Formoterol Fumarate Inhaler 400/60 mcg is a maintenance inhaler for asthma and COPD patients. Budesonide reduces the risk of asthma flare-ups by lowering swelling and inflammation in the air passages and keeping them open. Formoterol relaxes the muscles around the airways which improves the airflow and provides long-lasting relief.
Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid and Formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that work together to control asthma and COPD symptoms and improve breathing with regular use.
This 400/6 mcg strength is suitable for patients who require a higher dose of the corticosteroid for better disease and symptom control. Regular use can help reduce cough, chest tightness, wheezing and shortness of breath. It supports better lung function and decreases the chances of severe asthma attacks
