WHAT VYLAER SPIROMAX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Vylaer Spiromax contains two different active substances: budesonide
and formoterol fumarate dihydrate.

Budesonide belongs to a group of medicines called
‘corticosteroids’ also known as ‘steroids’. It works
by reducing and preventing swelling and inflammation in your lungs and
helps you to breathe more
easily.

Formoterol fumarate dihydrate belongs to a group of medicines called
‘long-acting β
2
adrenoceptor
agonists’ or ‘bronchodilators’. It works by relaxing the muscles
in your airways. This will help to open
the airways and help you to breathe more easily.
VYLAER SPIROMAX IS INDICATED FOR USE IN ADULTS 18 YEARS OF AGE AND
OLDER ONLY.
VYLAER SPIROMAX IS NOT INDICATED FOR USE IN CHILDREN 12 YEARS OF AGE
AND YOUNGER OR ADOLESCENTS 13 TO
17 YEARS OF AGE.
Your doctor has prescribed this medicine to treat asthma or chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
