About Formost 100 Inhaler 120 mdi

Formost 100 Inhaler 120 mdi 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.

Formost 100 Inhaler 120 mdi is a combination of two drugs: Mometasone (corticosteroid) and Formoterol (LABA - long-acting beta-agonists or bronchodilator). Mometasone works by acting inside the nasal passage and airways lining cells and stops releasing certain chemicals responsible for causing inflammatory reactions and allergies. Thereby, it provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose and sinus discomfort. Formoterol relaxes and widens respiratory airways muscles, making it easier for asthma and COPD patient breath easier.

Your doctor will recommend how often you use Formost 100 Inhaler 120 mdi based on your medical condition. Some people may experience a stuffy nose, dry mouth, throat irritation, and hoarse voice.

However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

These might be signs indicating that your asthma is not controlled properly and requires an alternate or additional treatment.
