Foracort inhaler 6/100 mcg is used long-term, two times daily, in patients age twelve and older to control asthma symptoms and prevent symptoms such as wheezing.
Foracort inhaler contains two medicines: Formoterol (6mcg) and Budesonide (100mcg)
Budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid drug, treats lung inflammation, which can cause asthma symptoms. Formoterol is a long-lasting beta2 agonist drug that is a prescription treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. It helps the muscles around the small airways in the lungs stay relaxed and stop wheezing, breathing issues, and asthma symptoms. These symptoms can develop when the muscles around the airways constrict. This makes it tough to breathe. In serious cases, wheezing can stop your breathing and can be life-threatening if not treated right away. Foracort inhaler is not meant to relieve sudden symptoms. Therefore, it is always important to keep inhaled short-acting medicine to treat sudden symptoms.
Do not use Foracort inhaler 6/100 mcg if you are allergic to budesonide, formoterol, or any other ingredient in this medicine. Speak to your healthcare specialist before using this combination inhaler if you have diabetes, lung infection, high blood pressure, thyroid problems, low levels of potassium in your bloodstream, or severe liver problems. If you have been advised to take steroid tablets for your asthma or COPD, your healthcare specialist may recommend reducing the tablets that you take once you begin treatment with the Foracort inhaler. If you have been using steroid tablets for a prolonged period, you may be advised to have blood tests regularly. When reducing the intake of steroid tablets, you may not feel well, though your asthma symptoms may improve. You might develop a runny or stuffy nose, rash, weakness, or muscle pain. If any symptoms become troublesome or symptoms such as nausea, tiredness, or vomiting occur, please speak to your healthcare professional immediately. You may be advised to get an alternative if you get allergic or arthritis symptoms. Your healthcare provider may consider adding steroid tablets to your usual treatment during stress. The asthma medication should not be given to children or adolescents under the age of eighteen years.

How to use Foracort inhaler 6/100 mg?
Foracort inhaler 6/100mcg should be used only if your healthcare professional believes another asthma controller medicine alone does not control your asthma symptoms, so you need two medications.
Use your Foracort inhaler daily to help prevent asthma symptoms from occurring.
The suggested dose for adults (18 years and older) is one inhalation twice daily. Your healthcare specialist may increase this to two inhalations two times a day. Your healthcare specialist increases this to two inhalations twice daily. If your symptoms are well controlled, you may be advised to use this asthma inhaler once a day. Your healthcare expert will help you manage your asthma symptoms and will provide the lowest maintenance dose to control wheezing and shortness of breath.
Use a separate reliever inhaler to treat sudden asthma symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath. The dose of your reliever inhaler should not exceed eight inhalations in 24 hours, and you should not use your reliever inhaler more often than four hours. If you are already using up to 8 inhalations daily or you need to increase the amount of reliever inhaler you require to treat your symptoms, you should see your healthcare specialist. Your healthcare professional will change your treatment to reduce wheezing, cough, and breathlessness associated with asthma and improve your asthma control, making breathing easier.
For chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) - The recommended dose in adults is one inhalation twice a day. Your healthcare specialist may also prescribe another bronchodilator drug, such as ipratropium or tiotropium, for your COPD.
