About Combihale FF 125mcg Inhaler

Combihale FF 125mcg Inhaler is a combination medication primarily used to prevent and treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) such as shortness of breath or wheezing (whistling sound while breathing). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Combihale FF 125mcg Inhaler is a combination of two drugs, namely: Formoterol (bronchodilator) and Fluticasone propionate (corticosteroid). Formoterol belongs to the class of bronchodilators that works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Thus, it makes breathing easier. Fluticasone propionate belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside cells of the nasal lining and stops the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thereby, provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and sinus discomfort.

Combihale FF 125mcg Inhaler is for inhalation only. Use Combihale FF 125mcg Inhaler as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Combihale FF 125mcg Inhaler based on your medical condition. Some people may experience headache, sore throat, sneezing, stuffy nose, hoarse voice, cough, low fever, chest tightness, a fungal infection in the mouth, sinus pain, nausea, stomach upset, dizziness, nervousness, vomiting, or irregular heartbeat. Most of these side effects of Combihale FF 125mcg Inhaler do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Use of Combihale FF 125mcg Inhaler may worsen asthma symptoms in some patients. If you experience severe difficulty in breathing, please consult a doctor immediately so that alternative medicine may be prescribed.

If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, chest or lungs infection, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), hypokalaemia (low potassium levels in the blood), glaucoma, cataracts, osteoporosis (weak bones), tuberculosis, heart, liver, or adrenal gland problems, inform your doctor before taking Combihale FF 125mcg Inhaler.
