Vilfuro 200 Capsule comprises two active components that work together to manage respiratory conditions:

• Fluticasone furoate (200 mcg): This synthetic corticosteroid binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the lungs. As a result, it suppresses the production of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and curtails the activity of immune cells. This anti-inflammatory action reduces airway swelling, mucus secretion, and hyperresponsiveness, thus helping to manage respiratory symptoms.

• Vilanterol (25 mcg): Vilanterol stimulates the beta2-adrenergic receptors in the airways, resulting in the relaxation of smooth muscles and bronchodilation. With a rapid onset and extended duration of action, vilanterol provides sustained relief from bronchospasms, aiding in easier breathing.

• Store Vilfuro 200 Capsule in a cool, dry place where the temperature is below 25°C.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat.

• Do not remove the capsule from its original packaging until just before use.

• Always keep this medication out of reach of children.

• Use the capsules within 6 weeks of opening the foil package.

• Remember to check the expiry date before use.

• If you suffer from asthma or COPD, avoid exposure to allergens, irritants, and pollutants like dust, smoke, or strong odours; these can trigger symptoms and exacerbate your condition.

• Regular mild-to-moderate exercise, such as walking or yoga, could potentially improve your lung function and overall health. However, consult your doctor before starting any new fitness routine.
