Description

Formiget 200 plus 6mcg Capsules

Formiget 200 plus 6mcg Capsules is a long-acting bronchodilator used as a long-term (maintenance) treatment to prevent or decrease wheezing and trouble breathing caused by asthma or ongoing lung disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema). This Capsule should only be used long-term if your asthma symptoms are not controlled by your other asthma medications (such as inhaled corticosteroids).

This Capsule should not be used for a severe/sudden asthma attack. For sudden attacks of asthma, use your quick-relief inhaler as prescribed. This Capsule is not a substitute for inhaled or oral corticosteroids (e.g., beclomethasone, fluticasone, prednisone). This medication should be used along with another controller-type asthma medication (such as inhaled corticosteroids). However, it should not be used with other long-acting beta-agonist inhalers (such as arformoterol, salmeterol) because doing so may increase your risk for side effects.

Uses

FORMIGET 200 plus 6MCG  CAPSULE (Budesonide + Formoterol fumarate dihydrate) is indicated in adults and adolescents (12 years and older) for the regular treatment of asthma, where use of a combination (inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting β2 adrenoceptor agonist) is appropriate: patients not adequately controlled with inhaled corticosteroids and “as needed” inhaled short-acting β2 adrenoceptor agonists. patients already adequately controlled on both inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting β2 adrenoceptor agonists. Formiget (Budesonide + Formoterol fumarate dihydrate) is indicated in adults, aged 18 years and older, for the symptomatic treatment of patients with COPD with forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) <70% predicted normal (post bronchodilator) and an exacerbation history despite regular bronchodilator therapy.
