About Filson FM 250 Inhaler 120 mdi

Filson FM 250 Inhaler 120 mdi is used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms.

Filson FM 250 Inhaler 120 mdi contains Formoterol fumarate, a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles to improve airflow, and Fluticasone propionate, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways. Together, they help ease breathing and control symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
