Formoterol Fumarate

Formoterol Fumarate (Foratec Rotacaps) is a form of medicine that is often given to help reduce the symptoms of asthma. It is used for those that have severe asthma so they need some type of long term assistance so that they can live a life that is happy and that allows them to not always be focusing on their health problems.

Formoterol is able to be used on children who are at least 5 years of age and adults. The dose will vary based on the severity of the asthma, overall health, and the weight of the patient. The doctor will start the patient out with a very low dose and then steadily increase it from there until the best results from the use of Formoterol Fumarate are found.

Formoterol is offered in the form of an inhaler and it shouldn’t be used any other way. Children should have the assistance of an adult to administer Formoterol until they are able to do it successfully on their own. It is important to get daily exercise and to eat right. Individuals that are overweight are more likely to suffer from asthma attacks.

Formoterol Fumarate is commonly combined with other types of medications. They may be in a tablet form or as a liquid for children.

If the asthma attacks don’t improve within 4 weeks of use talk to your doctor. It may be necessary to change the dose or to change the medication.
