About Maxiflo 250 Rotacaps

Maxiflo 250 Rotacaps is used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), like bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes) and emphysema (shortness of breath). 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 that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs.

Maxiflo 250 Rotacaps is a combination of two medicines: Formoterol (bronchodilator) and Fluticasone (corticosteroid). Formoterol is a long-acting beta-agonist that relaxes the muscles in the airways, thereby increasing airflow to the lungs. Formoterol makes breathing easier by widening the airways. Fluticasone acts by blocking the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways. Thereby, it provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and sinus discomfort. It helps to prevent asthma attacks in adults and children.

Your doctor will advise you on how often to take Maxiflo 250 Rotacaps , based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Maxiflo 250 Rotacaps include nausea, vomiting, respiratory tract infection, headache, sore throat, cough, bone, muscle, or joint pain, increased heart rate, chills, tiredness, and noisy breathing. Most of these side effects of Maxiflo 250 Rotacaps do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not use Maxiflo 250 Rotacaps to treat sudden, severe asthma symptoms or as a rescue inhaler. Brief your medical history if you have heart, liver, or kidney diseases, high blood pressure, hypokalaemia (low potassium levels in the blood), aneurysm (swelling of an artery), pheochromocytoma (adrenal gland tumour), hyperadrenocorticism (high levels of cortisol), cataract and glaucoma, chickenpox or measles, immune system problem, seizure (fits), osteoporosis, and diabetes before taking Maxiflo 250 Rotacaps .
