The prescription inhaler Foracort 200 is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. It has two active ingredients: Formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles to facilitate breathing, and Budesonide, a corticosteroid that helps lower lung inflammation. Usually taken as a maintenance medication, Foracort 200 helps avoid symptoms including tightness in the chest, wheezing, and shortness of breath. It is not intended to treat acute asthma episodes right away. To have the best effects, the inhaler should be taken on a regular basis as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Common adverse effects can include fungal infections in the mouth, hoarseness, or irritation of the throat.
