FORACORT JUNIOR – 1 INHALER

FORACORT JUNIOR INHALER combines two key medications to effectively manage asthma and COPD in children:

Budesonide: A corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the airways, improving overall respiratory function.
Formoterol: A long-acting beta agonist that relaxes airway muscles and enhances airflow, providing symptomatic relief.
Together, these ingredients help prevent and control asthma and COPD symptoms, improving breathing and quality of life for children.

Usage Instructions:
Preparation: Shake the inhaler well before each use.
Inhalation: Exhale completely, hold the inhaler upright, and place the mouthpiece between your child’s lips.
Activation: Press down on the inhaler to release the medication while your child inhales deeply and slowly.
Breathing: Have your child hold their breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale slowly.
Cleaning: Wipe the mouthpiece with a dry cloth after each use.
Frequency: Use as prescribed by your healthcare provider, typically twice daily.

Medicinal Advantages:
Reduces Inflammation: Budesonide helps decrease airway inflammation and swelling.
Relaxes Airways: Formoterol aids in relaxing and widening the airways for easier breathing.
Improves Symptom Control: Regular use helps prevent asthma and COPD exacerbations and maintains better respiratory control.

Mechanism of Action:
FORACORT JUNIOR INHALER combines two mechanisms for effective asthma and COPD management:
Budesonide: As a corticosteroid, it works by reducing inflammation in the airways through inhibition of inflammatory mediators and reduction of immune cell activity. This decreases swelling and mucus production.
Formoterol: Acts as a long-acting beta agonist, stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors on airway smooth muscle, leading to muscle relaxation and bronchodilation. This enhances airflow and relieves breathing difficulties.
