Formost 400 Respicaps is used to treat symptoms of asthma. It contains Mometasone and Formoterol, which works by acting inside the nasal passage and airways lining cells and stops releasing certain chemicals responsible for causing inflammatory reactions and allergies. Thereby, it provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose and sinus discomfort. Also, it relaxes and widens respiratory airways muscles, making it easier to breathe for asthma and COPD patients. Some people may experience side effects such as stuffy nose, dry mouth, throat irritation, and hoarse voice. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
