Title

Budesonide and Formoterol Dry Powder Inhaler

Categories

  • Asthma Treatment
  • COPD Maintenance

Description

This inhalation capsule is used for dry powder inhaler. It is intended for oral inhalation only. It is a combination of Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate BP and Budesonide BP. Budesonide is a glucocorticosteroid which when inhaled has a dose-dependent anti-inflammatory action in the airways, resulting in reduced symptoms and fewer asthma exacerbations. Inhaled Budesonide has less severe adverse effects than systemic corticosteroids. The exact mechanism responsible for the anti-inflammatory effect of glucocorticosteroids is unknown. Formoterol is a selective β2 adrenoceptor agonist that when inhaled results in rapid and long-acting relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle in patients with reversible airways obstruction. The bronchodilating effect is dose-dependent, with an onset of effect within 1-3 minutes. The duration of effect is at least 12 hours after a single dose.
