workings
Formoterol fumarate 0.006 mg and budesonide 0.4 mg work together to provide relief from symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Formoterol fumarate is a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the smooth muscles in the airways and helps to open up the air passages. This makes it easier to breathe and reduces shortness of breath.
Budesonide is a steroid that works by reducing inflammation in the airways. This helps to prevent symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness.
When formoterol fumarate and budesonide are combined, they work together to provide both immediate and long-term relief from asthma and COPD symptoms. The bronchodilation effect of formoterol fumarate provides immediate relief, while the anti-inflammatory effects of budesonide help to prevent symptoms from reoccurring.
