Formoterol

Active pharmaceutical substance formulated in Jan Aushadhi generic products for Respiratory & Allergy treatment.

🧴 Clinical Application

Inhaler (MDI): Shake canister well. Exhale completely, place mouthpiece between teeth and lips, press canister while taking a slow, deep breath, and hold breath for 10 seconds. Use a spacer device for optimal lung deposition. Rotacaps/DPI: Insert capsule into dry powder inhaler device, pierce, and inhale forcefully and deeply. CRITICAL: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water and spit out after each use to prevent oral candidiasis (thrush) and dysphonia.

⚠️ Side Effects

Common: Oral candidiasis (oral thrush), hoarseness (dysphonia), throat irritation, tremor, palpitations, headache. Rare/Severe: Paradoxical bronchospasm, hypokalemia, cardiac arrhythmias, and increased pneumonia risk in severe COPD.

🛡️ Safety Warnings

Always rinse mouth with water and spit out after inhalation. Do NOT swallow rotacaps; they are for inhalation only via the specific inhaler device. Never discontinue abruptly. Seek emergency care if symptoms rapidly worsen and do not respond to bronchodilators.
