Foracort 200 Rotacap belongs to the respiratory combination medication primarily used to treat asthma symptoms and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Foracort 200 Rotacap is a combination of two drugs: Budesonide (corticosteroid) and Formoterol fumarate (LABA - long-acting beta-agonists or bronchodilator). Budesonide belongs to the corticosteroids class that works by reducing the irritation and swelling by acting inside the nasal passage and airways lining cells and stops the release of certain chemicals responsible for causing inflammatory reactions and allergies. Thereby, it provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and sinus discomfort. On the other hand, Formoterol fumarate belongs to LABA - long-acting beta-agonists or bronchodilators that relax and widen respiratory airways muscles, making it easier for asthma and COPD patients to breathe.
