About Formost 200 Inhaler

Formost 200 Inhaler 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 200 Inhaler 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 200 Inhaler based on your medical condition. Some people may experience a stuffy nose, dry mouth, throat irritation, and hoarse voice. Most of these side effects of Formost 200 Inhaler do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Formost 200 Inhaler should not be used for the relief of acute bronchospasm. If you are allergic to Formost 200 Inhaler or any other ingredients, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Formost 200 Inhaler. Formost 200 Inhaler is not recommended for children below 12 years of age. If your breathing worsens or you often wake up at night with asthma, experience chest tightness in the morning or last longer than usual, please consult a doctor immediately. These might be signs indicating that your asthma is not controlled properly and requires an alternate or additional treatment.
