How airZ-FB Powder for Inhalation works
airZ-FB Capsule is a combination of three medicines : Glycopyrrolate, Formoterol, and Budesonide. Glycopyrrolate is an anticholinergic medication. It works by blocking the activity of a chemical messenger (acetylcholine) in the brain. Formoterol is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens airways. This makes breathing easier. Budesonide is a steroid which works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies.

FAQs
What is airZ-FB Capsule used for?
airZ-FB Capsule is used to help people with long‑term lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, or emphysema breathe more easily. It helps reduce flare‑ups and keeps the airways open for smoother breathing over time.
Can I use airZ-FB Capsule for sudden shortness of breath?
No. airZ-FB Capsule is not a rescue inhaler. It does not work quickly enough to relieve sudden attacks of breathlessness. You should always keep a fast‑acting rescue inhaler handy for sudden breathing problems.
Who should not use airZ-FB Capsule?
Individuals should not use airZ-FB Capsule if they are allergic to any of its ingredients (budesonide, glycopyrrolate, or formoterol). It is also not suitable for children under 18 years. People with severe kidney or liver problems should consult their doctor before using it.
What should I tell my doctor before starting airZ-FB Capsule?
Before starting airZ-FB Capsule, tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, seizures, thyroid problems, diabetes, prostate issues, glaucoma, or liver or kidney disease. These conditions can affect how your body reacts to this medicine.
What are the serious side effects of airZ-FB Capsule?
Serious side effects of airZ-FB Capsule may include chest pain, irregular heartbeat, vision changes, worsening breathing, allergic reactions such as swelling or rash, or symptoms of infection like fever or chills. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms.
Does airZ-FB Capsule weaken the immune system?
airZ-FB Capsule contains budesonide, a type of corticosteroid, which may slightly lower your body’s ability to fight infections. Wash your mouth after each use and contact your doctor if you develop thrush (white patches in your mouth) or a persistent cough.
Can using airZ-FB Capsule affect my eyes or bones?
Long‑term use of airZ-FB Capsule may increase the risk of eye problems such as glaucoma or cataracts and may slightly weaken bones. Regular check‑ups can help detect these issues early.
Can I stop using airZ-FB Capsule once I feel better?
