About Combihale FF 100 Redicaps

Combihale FF 100 Redicaps is a combination medication 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 in breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Combihale FF 100 Redicaps is a combination of two drugs, namely: Formoterol (bronchodilator) and Fluticasone propionate (corticosteroid). Formoterol belongs to the class of bronchodilators that works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Thus, it makes breathing easier. Fluticasone propionate belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside cells of the nasal lining and stops the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thereby, provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and sinus discomfort.
