• Hold the inhaler erect with your thumb on the base and index and middle fingers on the top. Remove the cap from the mouthpiece. 
• Put the tip there and seal your lips around it. Inhale slowly and deeply through your mouth while applying pressure to the inhaler to release the medicine. 
• As long as you can easily hold your breath, remove the inhaler from your mouth and hold your breath for approximately 10 seconds. 
• If your healthcare provider advises it, exhale carefully before starting over.

Follow your healthcare provider's precise directions regarding how often and how to use the Foracort Inhaler 200. 

• The route of administration for Foracort Inhaler 200 dosage is inhalation. The delivery mode of medication is direct to the lungs by inhalation of the medication through the inhaler's mouthpiece. This medication acts specifically on the airways where needed, reducing the risk of side effects throughout the body.

Foracort 200 Inhaler 120Mdi composition contains Budesonide (200 Mcg) + Formoterol Fumarate (6 Mcg) as its active ingredients.

• Budesonide: Budesonide is a synthetic corticosteroid used to treat asthma and COPD. It works by reducing inflammation in the airways, which helps to prevent asthma attacks and COPD exacerbations. Budesonide is classified as a glucocorticoid, which mimics the effects of cortisol, a hormone naturally produced by the adrenal gland. By reducing inflammation, budesonide can also help to reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
• Formoterol: Formoterol is a long-acting beta-agonist bronchodilator used to treat asthma and COPD. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, which helps open them up and make breathing easier. Formoterol is classified as a beta-2 agonist, which activates beta-2 receptors in the lungs, leading to the relaxation of the airway smooth muscle.

• The Foracort inhaler should be kept at ambient temperature between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C). 
• Avoid direct heat and sunlight, which can reduce a medication's efficacy. 
• This breathing medication shouldn't be frozen because doing so could harm it and reduce its effectiveness. 
• Keep the medication dry and away from moisture, as both can affect how the medication works and has an effect. 
• Keep toddlers away from the inhaler. Additionally, keep it out of reach of animals to avoid unintentional ingestion. 
• Check the inhaler's expiry date before using the medication.

• Try to identify the roots of the problems so that you can identify the triggers that cause the symptoms to worsen for the respiratory system, such as smoking, dust, or pollution. 
• You must take a well-balanced diet that includes vegetables, fresh fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins for excellent respiratory health. 
• Keep drinking plenty of fluids like water to stay as hydrated as you can. This would reduce the thickening of the mucus. 
• You can enhance lung performance and lessen respiratory symptoms by exercising frequently. 
• Stop smoking because it can worsen the respiratory system's symptoms and lessen the impact of medicine. 
• Maintain communication with your healthcare practitioner and get your yearly physical.

• If the inhaler is new and has not been used for quite a while, shake it well before spraying it into the air. 
• Breathe slowly while you press the inhaler to release the medication, and hold your breath for a few seconds before exhaling. 
• After you use the inhaler, rinse your mouth with water and spit it out to prevent fungal infections. 
• Keep proper track of doses so you don't exceed the dosage. 
• Keep the inhaler with you, especially if you are away from home. 
• Do not share your inhaler, even if they suffer similar symptoms.
