How Foracort G Inhaler works
Foracort G Inhaler 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.

Dear PATIENT you for sharing your reports with me.
