Foracort Forte Inhaler
Combination of two active medications to help manage asthma and COPD symptoms for easier breathing.

The Foracort Forte Inhaler combines two effective medicines in one device to provide long-term relief from the symptoms of Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It works by blocking certain chemicals responsible for inflammation and by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe.

While you might feel relief within a few days, the full benefits of the inhaler will become noticeable after a few weeks of consistent use. It’s essential to follow your doctor’s instructions on how often to use the inhaler, even if you’re symptom-free. Stopping its use could cause your symptoms to worsen, so regular use is crucial for maintaining effectiveness.

Important Note:
This inhaler is not meant for immediate relief of sudden breathlessness. For such cases, a rescue inhaler should be used. Correct inhaler technique is key to ensuring the medication works properly.
