Foster 100/6 Mcg Inhalation 120 Actuation (Refrigerator)

Fostair is a pressurised inhalation solution containing two active substances which are inhaled through your mouth and delivered directly into your lungs. The two active substances are beclometasone dipropionate and formoterol fumarate dihydrate. - Beclometasone dipropionate belongs to a group of medicines called corticosteroids which have an anti-inflammatory action reducing the swelling and irritation in your lungs. - Formoterol fumarate dihydrate belongs to a group of medicines called long-acting bronchodilators which relax the muscles in your airways and helps you to breathe more easily. Together these two active substances make breathing easier, by providing relief from symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing and cough in patients with asthma or COPD and also help to prevent the symptoms of asthma. Asthma Fostair is indicated in the regular treatment of asthma in adult patients in whom: asthma is not adequately controlled by using inhaled corticosteroids and “as needed” short-acting bronchodilators or asthma is responding well to treatment with both corticosteroids and long-acting bronchodilators. COPD Fostair can also be used to treat the symptoms of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adult patients. COPD is a long term disease of the airways in the lungs which is primarily caused by cigarette smoking. prescreption needed
