Airz-FF Capsule 30's

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.

The symptoms of mild persistent asthma may occur more than 2 times a week and up to 4 nights in a month, whereas, in the case of severe persistent asthma, the symptoms occur several times every day and most nights. The asthma treatment includes medication, breathing exercises, and self-care. 

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): It is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes). The major cause of COPD is smoking tobacco. Also, long-term exposure to fumes and chemicals may lead to COPD. The symptoms include chronic cough, shortness of breath, or wheezing (whistle sound while breathing).
