Formoflo G Inhalation Capsule: Uses, Side Effects, Price & Substitutes

About Formoflo G Inhalation Capsule 10

Formoflo-G Capsule is primarily used in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This combination medicine belongs to the class of corticosteroids, long-acting beta2-agonists (LABAs), and anticholinergics.

In addition to its primary use, it also aids in the long-term control of airflow obstruction in patients with chronic conditions such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is beneficial for preventing asthma symptoms in patients whose condition is not adequately controlled with inhaled corticosteroids and LABAs. This capsule eases breathing by reducing inflammation in the airways and preventing bronchospasms.

Always follow your doctor's advice on the dosage and timing of this medicine. Before starting, inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you notice any side effects, let your doctor know straight away. For optimal results, continue taking the capsule for the duration prescribed by your doctor.
