AIRTEC FB 200 (Formoterol (6mcg) + Budesonide (200mcg))

The Airtec FB 200 Inhaler combines two medications designed to address chronic symptoms associated with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This inhaler facilitates improved breathing by reducing inflammation and relaxing the muscles within the airways. The medication works by blocking the release of specific chemical signals that contribute to swelling. It is essential to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the frequency of use. While some patients may notice improvements within a few days, the full effect might not be felt for several weeks. Consistent usage is crucial for optimal effectiveness; therefore, continue using the inhaler even in the absence of symptoms, as this indicates that the medication is functioning properly. Discontinuation could lead to a worsening of symptoms. It is important to note that this inhaler is not intended for immediate relief of sudden breathlessness; in such cases, a rescue inhaler should be utilized. To maximize the benefits of this medication, ensure that you are using the inhaler correctly, as improper technique can diminish its effectiveness. Common side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, and respiratory infections. Should any side effects occur, do not cease using the inhaler without consulting your physician. Rinsing your mouth and throat with water or brushing your teeth after use can help minimize some potential side effects. If you have concerns about rarer, more serious side effects, it is advisable to discuss these with your doctor. Prior to starting this medication, inform your healthcare provider of any existing kidney or liver conditions, as this may impact the prescribed dosage. Additionally, notify your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
