Prescription Required
Product introduction
Formoflo-G Capsule is a medicine used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It relaxes and widens the airway muscles and reduces inflammation in the airways. This way it helps improve breathing, decreases the frequency and severity of COPD, and improves overall lung function.
Use Formoflo-G Capsule in the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Use the inhaler at the same time every day to maintain consistent medication levels in your body. Always rinse your mouth with water after inhalation to prevent irritation and oral infections. Do not swallow the capsule or use it without the inhaler device.
Common side effects include dry mouth, cough, throat irritation, and headache. These are usually mild and often resolve on their own. To minimize dry mouth, try sipping water regularly. If you experience throat irritation, rinsing your mouth after using the inhaler can help. If any side effects become bothersome or do not go away, contact your doctor for advice.
Before starting treatment with Formoflo-G Capsule, inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, especially heart problems, high blood pressure, or any allergies. This medication should be used with caution in patients with glaucoma, prostate enlargement, or bladder problems. Do not use this medication to treat acute COPD attacks; it is intended for regular, preventive use.
Uses of Formoflo-G Capsule
Benefits of Formoflo-G Capsule
In Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of lung diseases that cause breathing difficulties. It is caused by swelling of the airways that carry air in and out of the lungs. It relaxes the muscles of these airways and widens them. This improves breathing, reduces airway inflammation, and decreases the frequency of flare-ups. Formoflo-G Capsule enhances overall lung function, leading to better lung capacity, increased airflow, and improved exercise tolerance. Regular use helps patients manage symptoms more effectively, resulting in a higher quality of life and greater ability to engage in daily activities.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor.
How Formoflo-G Capsule works
Formoflo-G Capsule contains three active components. Glycopyrrolate relaxes the muscles around the airways in your lungs allowing air to pass through easily. It inhibits the release of respiratory secretions. Formoterol helps keep your airways open for a longer time. It’s like a helper that makes sure the tubes (airways) don’t get too narrow. It works for several hours, helping you breathe easier. Fluticasone Propionate is a steroid that reduces inflammation or swelling in your airways. When your airways are inflamed, they get narrower, making it harder to breathe. Fluticasone calms down the swelling and irritation, keeping the airways open and clear.
