Mode of Action of DIGIHALER FB 200MCG BOX OF 120MD METERED DOSE INHALER

How Does It Work?

  • Digihaler FB 200 works by the combined action of formoterol and budesonide.
  • Budesonide is a corticosteroid medicine, which on inhalation reduces inflammation in the airways in a dose-dependent manner, thus reducing the chances of worsening asthma.
  • Formoterol acts on the muscles in the airway tract. In the presence of inflammation (like in asthma), these muscles lead to constriction of the airway and cause breathlessness.
  • Formoterol relaxes these muscles, facilitating the opening of the airway and thus relieving breathlessness.
