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.
