Is the Foracort 200 inhaler a steroid, and can it be stopped after starting it?
Yes, Foracort 200 contains budesonide, which is a steroid, along with formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator. It is used to treat asthma or COPD symptoms. You should not stop it suddenly, even if you feel better, as this may worsen your breathing or trigger flare-ups. Your doctor can advise a safe plan to reduce or stop it if needed.
