About Vilor F Capsule

Vilor F Capsule belongs to the class of medicines called respiratory stimulants. It treats asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Asthma is a severe long-term health condition occurring due to the narrowing and swelling of the bronchial airways in the lungs, thus causing difficulty in breathing. Symptoms may include shortness of breath or wheezing (whistling sound while breathing). COPD is a group of long-term lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes) causing restricted airways. Vilor F Capsule helps reduce symptoms of asthma and COPD.

Vilor F Capsule contains Fluticasone Furoate (an inhaled corticosteroid) and Vilanterol (long-acting beta-agonists—LABA). Vilanterol belongs to the class of bronchodilators that works by relaxing muscles and opening the airways of the lungs. Fluticasone Furoate inhibits the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions, thus providing relief from sneezing, shortness of breath, or wheezing.
