Fostair NEXThaler for Asthma & Breathing Problems
Asthma is a common lung condition that can cause a range of breathing difficulties that happen randomly or after exposure to a trigger. Triggers may include common allergies to pollen or animal dander, infections, environmental changes or from exercise.
Fostair NEXThaler aims to make breathing easier by providing relief from symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing in individuals with asthma. This inhaler can be used to treat asthma and COPD.
What is Fostair NEXThaler and how does it work?
It contains two active ingredients, beclometasone dipropionate anhydrous and formoterol fumarate dihydrate, which are inhaled through your mouth and delivered deep into your lungs. The combined use of corticosteroid and long-acting bronchodilator medications works to relax the muscles in the airways, reducing swelling and irritation in the lungs while also helping you breathe easier.
