About Foracort 200 Rotacap

Foracort 200 Rotacap is used to treat 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.

Foracort 200 Rotacap contains budesonide (corticosteroid) and formoterol fumarate (bronchodilator).
