About Formosone 125 Inhaler 120 mdi

Formosone 125 Inhaler 120 mdi 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).

Formosone 125 Inhaler 120 mdi 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.

Formosone 125 Inhaler 120 mdi is for inhalation only. Use Formosone 125 Inhaler 120 mdi as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Formosone 125 Inhaler 120 mdi 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 Formosone 125 Inhaler 120 mdi do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Formosone 125 Inhaler 120 mdi or any other ingredients, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before using Formosone 125 Inhaler 120 mdi. Formosone 125 Inhaler 120 mdi is not recommended for children below 12 years of age. Use of Formosone 125 Inhaler 120 mdi 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. Regular monitoring of potassium levels is recommended while taking Formosone 125 Inhaler 120 mdi as it may cause low potassium levels in the blood. 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 Formosone 125 Inhaler 120 mdi.
