How it works
Foracort 0.5mg Respules 2ml is a combination of two medicines: Formoterol and Budesonide. Formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. Budesonide is a steroid. It works by stopping the release of certain chemical messengers that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.Foracort 0.5mg Respules 2ml is a combination of two medicines: Formoterol and Budesonide.
