About EVOCORT 400MCG ROTACAPS
EVOCORT 400MCG ROTACAPS belongs to the respiratory combination medication primarily used to treat symptoms of asthma. Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways get narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing.

Formoterol relaxes and widens respiratory airways muscles, making it easier for asthma and COPD patient breath easier.
