About Evocort 6 mcg/200 mcg Rotacap

FORMOTEROL+MOMETASONE belongs to the respiratory combination medication primarily used to treat symptoms of asthma. Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways get narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing.

FORMOTEROL+MOMETASONE is a combination of two drugs: Mometasone (corticosteroid) and Formoterol (LABA - long-acting beta-agonists or bronchodilator). Mometasone belongs to the corticosteroids class that works by acting inside the nasal passage and airways lining cells and stops releasing certain chemicals responsible for causing inflammatory reactions and allergies. Thereby, it provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose and sinus discomfort. Formoterol belongs to LABA - long-acting beta-agonists or bronchodilators that relaxes and widens respiratory airways muscles, making it easier for asthma and COPD patient breath easier.
