CompositionForacort Forte Rotacaps is used for the regular maintenance treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults and children over 6 years old, helping to control wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing.
It combines formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator, and budesonide, a corticosteroid. Use it as prescribed with the rotahaler device provided, and continue using it regularly, even when you feel well, as it is a maintenance treatment rather than a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms.
Rinsing your mouth with water after each use can help prevent oral thrush, and following any written asthma or COPD action plan, avoiding known triggers and attending regular check-ups support long-term breathing control alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any current chest infection, tuberculosis, heart problems or diabetes before starting, and about other medicines you take. Report a fast or irregular heartbeat, worsening breathlessness, or a persistent sore mouth or throat.
