Vilor-F Capsule contains the following components:

Fluticasone (100 mcg): It is an inhaled corticosteroid. It works by reducing inflammation in the airways, which is a key factor in COPD. By decreasing inflammation, it helps prevent exacerbations and symptoms. It's particularly useful for people with COPD who have frequent flare-ups.
Vilanterol (25 mcg): It is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA). It works by stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the muscles of the airways. Activation of these receptors causes these muscles to relax, leading to bronchodilation and making breathing easier for individuals with COPD and asthma.
