Formoterol Fumarate and Budesonide Powder for Inhalation : Budepress Forte 400 Capsule.

Formoterol fumarate and budesonide powder for inhalation is a prescription medication used to manage and prevent symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This inhalation powder combines two powerful drugs—formoterol, a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA), and budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid—to help people with respiratory conditions breathe more easily and reduce the frequency of flare-ups.

It is marketed under various brand names, including Budepress Forte 400 Capsule, and is typically delivered via a pressurized inhaler. This budesonideformoterol combination helps manage chronic breathing problems and provides consistent symptom relief for people suffering from asthma and COPD.

What Is Budesonideformoterol Used For?

Budesonideformoterol is used to:

• Prevent and control asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

• Treat COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, by reducing inflammation and opening the airways.

• Reduce risk of severe breathing problems or hospitalizations in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

This medication is not intended for acute symptom relief and should not be used as a rescue inhaler. Always carry a separate rescue inhaler for sudden breathing issues.

How Budesonideformoterol Works

• Budesonide is a corticosteroid that decreases inflammation in the airways. By reducing swelling, it improves airflow and makes breathing easier over time.

• Formoterol fumarate is a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles surrounding the airways, allowing for smoother and deeper breathing.

Together, these medications offer a dual mechanism of action that targets both inflammation and airway constriction—two major contributors to asthma and COPD symptoms.

Dosage and Administration of Budesonideformoterol 

The dosage of formoterol fumarate and budesonide powder for inhalation will depend on the condition being treated and the severity of the symptoms. It is usually taken:

• Twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart

• By oral inhalation using a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) or dry powder inhaler

• Patients should rinse their mouth with water after use to reduce the risk of oral side effects such as thrush

Do not increase your dosage or use it more often than prescribed, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
