About this active substance

The combination of fluticasone and formoterol is used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Fluticasone is a corticosteroid that reduces airway inflammation, while formoterol is a bronchodilator that relaxes the bronchial muscles, making breathing easier. Together, these substances help prevent asthma attacks and relieve respiratory symptoms.

The medication is administered by inhalation, usually twice a day, as directed by your doctor. It is important to use the inhaler regularly, even if you have no symptoms, to maintain disease control. Do not use this medication for quick relief of acute attacks.

Side effects may include throat irritation, hoarseness, oral infections, or palpitations. Rarely, severe allergic reactions or worsening of respiratory symptoms may occur. If you experience difficulty breathing or facial swelling, seek medical help immediately.

The combination of fluticasone and formoterol is effective in managing asthma and COPD, but correct use and medical monitoring are necessary to prevent complications and ensure treatment effectiveness.
