About Maxiflo Forte Rotacaps
Maxiflo Forte Rotacaps 30’s is a combination medication primarily used to prevent and treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) 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).
Maxiflo Forte Rotacaps 30’s is a combination of two drugs, namely: Formoterol (bronchodilator) and Fluticasone propionate (corticosteroid). Formoterol belongs to the class of bronchodilators that works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Thus, it makes breathing easier. Fluticasone propionate belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside cells of the nasal lining and stops the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thereby, provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose and sinus discomfort.
Maxiflo Forte Rotacaps 30’s is for inhalation only. Take Maxiflo Forte Rotacaps 30’s by inhaling the number of puffs as advised by your doctor. Your doctor will recommend you how often you take Maxiflo Forte Rotacaps 30’s based on your medical condition. Some people may experience headache, sore throat, sneezing, stuffy nose, hoarse voice, cough, low fever, chest tightness, a fungal infection in the mouth, sinus pain, nausea, stomach upset, dizziness, nervousness, vomiting or irregular heartbeat. Most of these side effects of Maxiflo Forte Rotacaps 30’s do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Maxiflo Forte Rotacaps 30’s or any other ingredients, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before using Maxiflo Forte Rotacaps 30’s. Maxiflo Forte Rotacaps 30’s is not recommended for children below 12 years of age. Use of Maxiflo Forte Rotacaps 30’s may worsen asthma symptoms in some patients. 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 Maxiflo Forte Rotacaps 30’s as it may cause low potassium levels in the blood. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, chest or lungs infection, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), hypokalaemia (low potassium levels in the blood), glaucoma, cataracts, osteoporosis (weak bones), tuberculosis, heart, liver or adrenal gland problems, inform your doctor before taking Maxiflo Forte Rotacaps 30’s.
