Forair 100 Respicap (30 Cap)

Medicine Information

About Forair 100 Respicap:

Forair 100 respicap is used to manage asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Each hard gelatin Forair 100 respicap capsule for dry powder inhalation contains Salmeterol Xinafoate equivalent to Salmeterol 50 µg and Fluticasone Propionate 100 µg.

Salmeterol is an agonist of beta2-adrenergic receptors (found predominantly in bronchial smooth muscle). Beta-2 adrenoceptor stimulation causes relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, bronchodilation, and increased airflow.

Fluticasone propionate is a synthetic, trifluorinated glucocorticoid with potent anti-inflammatory activity. It exerts its beneficial effects by inhibiting several types of cells and mediators involved in allergic, immune, and inflammatory responses.

Use of Forair 100 Respicap:

Forair 100 respicap is indicated in the regular treatment of asthma, where the use of a combination (long-acting beta2-agonist and inhaled corticosteroid) has been found to be appropriate, and in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
