About Duomate Forte Transcaps

Duomate Forte Transcaps is a combination of medication primarily used to prevent and treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) like shortness of breath or wheezing (whistling sound while breathing). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Duomate Forte Transcaps is a combination of two drugs, namely: Beclometasone (corticosteroid) and Formoterol (bronchodilator). Beclometasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside cells of the airways/nasal lining and stops the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thereby, provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and sinus discomfort. Formoterol belongs to the class of bronchodilators that works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Thus, it makes breathing easier.
