About Formoflo 125 Transhaler 7.2 gm

Formoflo 125 Transhaler 7.2 gm is used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms. Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Formoflo 125 Transhaler 7.2 gm contains Formoterol fumarate, a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles to improve airflow, and Fluticasone propionate, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways. Together, they help ease breathing and control symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Use Formoflo 125 Transhaler 7.2 gm as advised by the doctor. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on your medical condition.
