Foracort 400 Synchrobreathe Inhaler 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 reduces 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 causing breathlessness.
Formoterol relaxes these muscles, facilitating the opening of the airway and thus relieving breathlessness.
