Medicinal Benefits

Formoflo 250 Transhaler is used to treat and prevent respiratory disorders like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Formoflo 250 Transhaler improves pulmonary function and effectively treats and prevents the worsening of emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes). Formoflo 250 Transhaler is a combination of Formoterol (bronchodilator) and Fluticasone (corticosteroid). Formoterol relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. It makes breathing easier by widening the airways. Fluticasone acts by blocking prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways. Fluticasone has potent vasoconstrictive (narrowing of the blood vessels) and anti-inflammatory activity.
