Foratec Rotacap

Foratec Rotacap belongs to the class of 'bronchodilators', primarily used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) like bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes) and emphysema (shortness of breath). 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 that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. 

Foratec Rotacap consists of Formoterol that belongs to the class of bronchodilators. It is a long-acting beta-agonist that relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. Formoterol makes breathing easier by widening the airways. It is also used to prevent exercise-induced breathing problems.

Your doctor will advise on how often you take Foratec Rotacap based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Foratec Rotacap include nausea, shakiness (tremor), headache, dizziness, dry mouth, stomach upset, tiredness, trouble sleeping, and hoarseness (abnormal voice changes). Most of these side effects of Foratec Rotacap do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Foratec Rotacap will not work as a rescue inhaler for sudden severe symptoms of asthma.
