FORMOFLO 100 (Formoterol (6mcg) + Fluticasone Propionate (100mcg))

Formoflo 100mcg Transcaps is indicated for managing asthma symptoms, such as wheezing and breathlessness, as well as the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a condition characterized by obstructed airflow in the lungs. This medication works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, facilitating easier breathing. Your healthcare provider will instruct you on the appropriate frequency of inhaler usage. It is crucial to administer the minimum effective dose for optimal asthma management. Patients may begin to notice effects within days, but the maximum benefit may take several weeks to achieve. Regular use of this medication is essential for effectiveness, even if symptoms are not currently present, as discontinuation may lead to a deterioration of asthma or COPD symptoms. This medication is not suitable for immediate relief during sudden asthma attacks; instead, a rapid-acting inhaler should be utilized in such events. Ensuring proper inhaler technique is vital for maximizing the benefits of this treatment. Some common side effects associated with the use of this medication include nausea, vomiting, respiratory infections, headaches, hoarseness, sore throats, coughing, musculoskeletal pain, and increased heart rate. If side effects occur, it is advisable to consult with your doctor, but do not discontinue use without professional guidance. Rinsing the mouth and throat or brushing teeth post-inhalation may help mitigate some side effects. Be aware that more serious and less frequent side effects can occur, so it’s important to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider. Additionally, make an effort to avoid triggers that exacerbate asthma and refrain from smoking to enhance treatment efficacy.
