About Formoflo-G Capsule (Powder For Inhalation)

Formoflo-G Capsule (Powder For Inhalation) belongs to the class of respiratory stimulants primarily used to prevent and treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms, such as shortness of breath or wheezing (whistling sound while breathing). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Formoflo-G Capsule (Powder For Inhalation) is a combination of three drugs: Glycopyrrolate (anticholinergic), Formoterol fumarate dihydrate (bronchodilator), and Fluticasone propionate (corticosteroid). Glycopyrrolate reduces secretions in the airways. Formoterol fumarate dihydrate is a bronchodilator that works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. This makes breathing easier. Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid that acts on nasal lining cells and prevents the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. As a result, asthma and COPD sufferers can find relief.
