Quikhale FB 200 Capsule (Formoterol 6mcg / Budesonide 200mcg)

About Quikhale FB 200 Rotacaps 30’s

Quikhale FB 200 Rotacaps 30’s belongs to the respiratory combination medication primarily used to treat asthma symptoms and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (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).

Quikhale FB 200 Rotacaps 30’s is a combination of two drugs: Budesonide (corticosteroid) and Formoterol (LABA – long-acting beta-agonists or bronchodilator). Budesonide belongs to the corticosteroids class that works by reducing the irritation and swelling by acting inside the nasal passage and airways lining cells and stops the release of certain chemicals responsible for causing inflammatory reactions and allergies. Thereby, it provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose and sinus discomfort. On the other hand, Formoterol belongs to LABA – long-acting beta-agonists or bronchodilators that relaxes and widens respiratory airways muscles, making it easier for asthma and COPD patient to breath.

Quikhale FB 200 Rotacaps 30’s is available in the form of rotacaps, inhaler, respules, transhaler and transcaps. Your doctor will recommend you how often you take Quikhale FB 200 Rotacaps 30’s based on your medical condition. Some people may experience fungal infection in the mouth, headache, sore throat, hoarse voice, upper respiratory tract infection, flu, cough, back pain, increased heart rate, and trembling. Most of these side effects of Quikhale FB 200 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.
