Here's how you should use Formonide 0.5mg Respules:

These respules are meant to be used with a nebuliser for inhalation purposes.

After using, always clean your nebuliser according to its manual to avoid any contamination.

Formonide 0.5mg Respules may have the following common side effects:

Headache
Throat irritation
Cough
Nasal congestion
Hoarseness
Nausea
Upper respiratory tract infection: This refers to an infection that affects your upper respiratory system, which includes your nose, throat, and sinuses.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing Formonide 0.5mg Respules. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Formonide 0.5mg Respules contains two active ingredients:

Budesonide (0.5 mg): Budesonide is a corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity. It works by reducing inflammation in the airways. This is achieved by binding to glucocorticoid receptors in the airways, leading to a variety of anti-inflammatory effects. This helps in reducing the swelling and irritation in the walls of the small air passages in the lungs.
Formoterol Fumarate (20 mcg): Formoterol fumarate is a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA). It relaxes the bronchial smooth muscles, stabilises mast cells, and prevents oedema. This bronchodilating action helps in opening the constricted airways, making it easier for you to breathe.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Formonide 0.5mg Respules if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding
