Formovent 200mcg Respicaps is a combination of Budesonide and Formoterol.
It is used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD is a group of lung conditions that cause blockage of airflow leading to breathing-related problems) and asthma (narrowing of the airways with excessive mucous production).
It helps relieve symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, breathing difficulty, coughing, etc.
Formovent 200 Respicaps prevents the release of certain chemicals that cause swelling and narrowing of the airways.
Hence, it relaxes and widens the airways leading to the lungs and helps to ease breathing.
