Vilor-F 100 Capsule
Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Vilor-F 100 Capsule is a combination of two medicines that opens the airways and makes it easier to breathe. It is used in the treatment of asthma (wheezing and shortness of breath) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (a lung disorder in which the flow of air to the lungs is blocked).
The effect of Vilor-F 100 Capsule may be noticeable after a few days but will only reach its maximum after a few weeks. This medicine must be used regularly for it to show its effect, so take it even if you don't have any symptoms. If you stop taking it before the prescribed duration, your asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) may worsen. It should not be used to relieve sudden asthma attacks. If an asthma attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler (reliever). To get the most benefits from this medicine, make sure you get your inhaler technique right; otherwise, the medicine won’t work well.
The most common side effects of Vilor-F 100 Capsule are nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, headache, fever, back pain, pneumonia, sinusitis, and cough. 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 that can be serious. Talk to your doctor if you're worried about them. In general, try to avoid situations which make your asthma worse (your triggers), and do not smoke.
Ask your doctor whether it’s safe to take this medicine if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Before taking it, tell your doctor if you have any kidney or liver diseases so that they can prescribe a suitable dose for you.

How Vilor F Powder for Inhalation works

Quick tips
- Vilor-F 100 Capsule ‘dampens down’ inflammation in the lungs to provide long-term (maintenance) treatment of asthma and prevent disease progression.
- Vilor-F 100 Capsule will not work for an ongoing asthma attack. Use your rescue inhaler to control sudden difficulty in breathing.
- Learn the correct technique of using metered dose inhalers (MDI) and dry powder inhalers (DPI) to ensure that the right amount of medication reaches your lungs, and side effects are minimized.
- Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat.
- Take it at the same time every day to prevent asthma attacks.
- Do not open and close the cover unnecessarily as you will lose the medicine.
- Never breathe out into the mouthpiece.
- Only minuscule amounts of Vilor-F 100 Capsule may get absorbed into the bloodstream after inhalation. Hence, serious side effects such as weight gain are unlikely.
