AIRTEC FB 400 INSTACAP 30S

Product Introduction:

AirTec FB 400 Instacap is a pharmaceutical combination in the form of a dry powder inhaler, containing Formoterol (6mcg) and Budesonide (400mcg). This medication is designed to provide comprehensive management for respiratory conditions, particularly asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Your doctor will tell you how often you need to use your inhaler. The effect of this medicine may be noticeable after a few days but will only reach its maximum after a few weeks. This medicine must be used regularly to be effective, so go on taking it even if you don’t have any symptoms. That means it’s doing its job. If you stop taking it your symptoms may get worse. This medicine should not be used to relieve sudden shortness of breath. If sudden shortness of breath occurs, use your rescue inhaler. To get the benefit from this medicine you need to make sure you get your inhaler technique right, otherwise, it does not work as well.

The most common side effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, and respiratory tract infection. If you get there, don’t stop taking it but do talk to your doctor. You can prevent some of these symptoms by rinsing your mouth and throat with water or brushing your teeth after using your inhaler. There are other, rarer side effects which can be serious. Talk to your doctor if you’re worried about them.

Before taking it, you should tell your doctor if you have any kidney or liver diseases so that your doctor can prescribe a suitable dose for you. You should also tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Benefits:

1. Bronchodilation: Formoterol, a long-acting beta-agonist, aids in relaxing the muscles of the airways, facilitating easier breathing by promoting bronchodilation.
2. Anti-inflammatory Action: Budesonide, a corticosteroid, reduces inflammation in the airways, preventing or alleviating symptoms associated with respiratory conditions.
3. Synergistic Effect: The combination of Formoterol and Budesonide offers a synergistic effect, addressing both bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory aspects of respiratory management.
4. Enhanced Symptom Control: AirTec FB 400 Instacap aims to improve overall symptom control, providing relief from bronchoconstriction and inflammation.

Side Effects:

While generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects, including:

1. Throat irritation
2. Coughing
3. Headache
4. Nausea
5. Hoarseness of voice

Serious side effects are rare but may include increased heart rate or high blood pressure. It’s important to seek medical attention if any unusual or severe side effects occur.

Usage Guidelines:

1. Dosage: Use AirTec FB 400 Instacap as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
2. Inhalation Technique: Proper inhalation technique is crucial for optimal drug delivery. Consult with your healthcare professional for guidance.
3. Consistency: Adhere to a consistent dosing schedule to maintain the therapeutic effect.

5. Regular Monitoring: Regularly monitor your respiratory symptoms and report any changes to your healthcare provider.

Drug Interactions:

AirTec FB 400 Instacap may interact with certain medications, including:

1. Beta-blockers: Concurrent use with beta-blockers may antagonize the bronchodilator effects of Formoterol.
2. Certain Antifungals and Macrolide Antibiotics: These medications may increase the risk of systemic corticosteroid side effects when used with Budesonide.

Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions.
