Formonide 400 Respicaps combines two medications in a single inhaler to alleviate chronic symptoms associated with asthma and COPD, facilitating improved breathing. Its mechanism involves hindering the release of specific inflammatory chemical messengers and promoting relaxation in the airway muscles.
Your healthcare provider will advise you on the frequency of inhaler usage. While you may experience some relief within a few days, the full therapeutic effect may take a few weeks to manifest. Consistent usage is crucial for optimal effectiveness, even in the absence of noticeable symptoms. Discontinuing use could lead to a worsening of symptoms, so adhere to the prescribed regimen. However, Formonide 400 Respicaps is not intended for sudden shortness of breath; in such instances, a rescue inhaler should be used. Proper inhaler technique is essential for reaping the benefits, as incorrect usage may compromise its efficacy.
Common side effects encompass headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, and respiratory tract infections. Continue usage but consult your doctor if these side effects arise. Some symptoms can be mitigated by rinsing your mouth and throat with water or brushing your teeth after inhaler use. Although rare, there are more serious side effects, and any concerns should be discussed with your doctor.
Prior to initiating treatment, inform your doctor about any kidney or liver conditions to ensure a suitable dosage. Additionally, disclose your pregnancy, plans for pregnancy, or breastfeeding status for appropriate guidance.
