About Airz-FF Capsule

Airz-FF Capsule belongs to the class of respiratory stimulants primarily used to prevent and treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), such as shortness of breath or wheezing (whistling sound while breathing). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Airz-FF Capsule is a combination of three drugs, namely: Glycopyrrolate (anticholinergic), Formoterol fumarate (bronchodilator), and Fluticasone propionate (corticosteroid). Glycopyrrolate decreases the secretions in the airways. Formoterol fumarate belongs to the class of bronchodilators that works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. This makes breathing easier. Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid that works by acting on cells of the nasal lining and stops the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thereby providing relief from asthma and COPD.

Airz-FF Capsule is for inhalation only. Use Airz-FF Capsule as prescribed. You are advised to use Airz-FF Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. Some people may experience headache, sore throat, stuffy nose, chest tightness, dry mouth, and constipation. Most of these side effects of Airz-FF Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

If you are allergic to Airz-FF Capsule or any other ingredients, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before using Airz-FF Capsule . Airz-FF Capsule is not recommended for children below 1 year of age. If you experience severe difficulty breathing, please consult a doctor immediately so that alternative medicine may be prescribed.
