Composition

Fluticasone Furoate (100 Mcg) + Vilanterol (25 Mcg)

Besvil 100 Octacaps is used mainly to manage asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This combination medicine falls under the category of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA).

In addition to managing asthma and COPD, this medication helps control and prevent respiratory symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. It provides a more convenient approach to controlling these conditions with one inhaler as opposed to multiple treatments.

It's important that you take this medicine orally as directed by your doctor. Before starting on this medicine, make sure your doctor knows about any ongoing medications or pre-existing conditions you might have. If you experience any side effects while using this medicine, contact your doctor immediately. Continue taking the medicine for the entire duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Besvil 100 Octacaps has two active components:

Fluticasone furoate (100 mcg): As a synthetic corticosteroid, this ingredient works by reducing the production of inflammatory chemicals released in response to asthma triggers like allergens and irritants. This action results in decreased swelling and irritation in the bronchial tubes.
Vilanterol (25 mcg): Classified as a selective long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA), vilanterol binds to beta2 receptors on airway smooth muscle cells, leading to relaxation and expansion of the airways. This process makes breathing easier. The effects of vilanterol last for at least 24 hours.
