Product introduction

Foracort G 400 Rotacap is a combination of three medicines. It is used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works in various ways and reduces the symptoms of the disease such as coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Don’t stop using the medicine even if you feel better unless your doctor tells you to. If you stop, your breathing problems could get worse.

Foracort G 400 Rotacap is generally safe and effective but some common side effects include dizziness, headache, vomiting, and stuffy nose (nasal congestion).

How Foracort G Rotacap works

Foracort G 400 Rotacap is a combination of three medicines : Glycopyrrolate, Formoterol, and Budesonide. Glycopyrrolate is an anticholinergic medication. It works by blocking the activity of a chemical messenger (acetylcholine) in the brain. Formoterol is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens airways. This makes breathing easier. Budesonide is a steroid which works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies.
