The active ingredients in Foracort 400 mcg Inhaler are budesonide and formoterol. Budesonide, a corticosteroid, works by reducing inflammation in the airways. It helps to decrease swelling and mucus production, improving breathing for individuals with asthma.

Formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator, helps relax the muscles in the airways. By doing so, it widens the air passages and allows for easier breathing. This ingredient provides long-lasting relief from asthma symptoms and helps prevent bronchospasms.

Together, budesonide and formoterol work synergistically to provide comprehensive management of asthma symptoms. Budesonide reduces inflammation while formoterol opens up the airways, ensuring optimal control of your asthma condition. These ingredients target different aspects of asthma management to help you breathe more easily throughout the day.
