Fuorcort-ST 250

Fuorcort-ST 250 is a prescription inhalation medicine. It is used for the regular maintenance treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It combines a long acting bronchodilator with an inhaled corticosteroid. This helps control airway inflammation and prevent breathing difficulties. The medicine is to be used just as prescribed. Fuorcort-ST 250 can’t be used to give relief of sudden asthma attacks. 

Composition: Salmeterol 50mcg + Fluticasone Propionate 250mcg

How It Works

Salmeterol is a long-acting beta 2 agonist. This relaxes the muscles around the airways, which helps to keep them open. You get easier and sustained breathing this way. 

Fluticasone Propionate is an inhaled corticosteroid. It reduces inflammation, swelling, and irritation in the airways. This lowers the risk of symptom flare ups. 

Together, they help improve lung function. Fuorcort-ST 250 helps maintain long term control of respiratory symptoms.
