Formoflo 250 Transcaps

Formoflo 250 Transcaps is a combination medication primarily used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (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).

Formoflo 250 Transcaps is a combination of two medicines, namely: Formoterol fumarate (bronchodilator) and Fluticasone propionate (corticosteroids). Formoterol fumarate is a long-acting beta-agonist that relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. Thereby making breathing easier by widening the airways. Fluticasone propionate acts by blocking prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways. Thereby, it provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose and sinus discomfort. 

Use Formoflo 250 Transcaps as advised by the doctor. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Formoflo 250 Transcaps include nausea, vomiting, respiratory tract infection, headache, sore throat, cough, bone, muscle or joint pain, increased heart rate, chills, tiredness and noisy breathing. Most of these side effects of Formoflo 250 Transcaps do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Please check with your doctor if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines. Formoflo 250 Transcaps is not recommended for children below five years of age. If you experience severe difficulty in breathing, please consult a doctor immediately so that alternative medicine may be prescribed. Regular monitoring of potassium levels is recommended while taking Formoflo 250 Transcaps as it may cause low potassium levels in the blood.

Formoflo 250 Transcaps is used to treat and prevent respiratory disorders like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Formoflo 250 Transcaps improves pulmonary function and effectively treats and prevents the worsening of emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes). Formoflo 250 Transcaps is a combination of Formoterol fumarate and Fluticasone propionate. Formoterol fumarate is a long-acting β₂ agonist and bronchodilator. It relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. It makes breathing easier by widening the airways. Fluticasone propionate belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It acts by blocking prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways. Together, Formoflo 250 Transcaps helps treat asthma and COPD.

Do not stop taking this medicine of your own unless advised by your doctor. Before taking Formoflo 250 Transcaps , let your doctor know if you have a history of heart, liver, kidney diseases, high blood pressure, hypokalaemia (low potassium levels in the blood), aneurysm (swelling of an artery), pheochromocytoma (adrenal gland tumour), hyperadrenocorticism (high levels of cortisol), eye disorders like cataract and glaucoma, chickenpox or measles, immune system problem, seizure (fits), osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones) and diabetes. Formoflo 250 Transcaps may cause hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood). Therefore they should be used with caution in patients with hypokalaemia to prevent any cardiovascular effects. Special precautions should be taken in patients with a fungal, bacterial, parasitic, or viral infection and tuberculosis since nasal or inhaled corticosteroids like Fluticasone propionate can cause secondary infections. Formoflo 250 Transcaps can cause a rise in blood glucose levels. Hence monitor your blood glucose levels regularly and inform your doctor if you already have diabetes before using Formoflo 250 Transcaps . Please let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Formoflo 250 Transcaps is not recommended for children below five years of age.
