Frequently asked questions
Is Foracort 200 a steroid?
It contains budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid, plus formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator. Inhaled steroids act in the airways at tiny doses and are far safer than steroid tablets when used as prescribed.
Can I use Foracort 200 as a rescue inhaler during an attack?
Only if your doctor has prescribed it as maintenance-and-reliever (MART) therapy. Otherwise use your reliever inhaler (salbutamol) for sudden symptoms and keep Foracort for regular twice-daily use.
Why must I rinse my mouth after Foracort?
Steroid particles left in the mouth and throat cause oral thrush and a hoarse voice. Rinsing with water and spitting it out after every dose prevents this.
Can I stop Foracort when I feel fine?
No. Feeling well means the inhaler is working. Stopping a preventer lets airway inflammation return and raises the risk of a serious attack. Only your doctor should step the dose down.
