WHAT DUORESP SPIROMAX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
DuoResp 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.
DUORESP SPIROMAX IS INDICATED FOR USE IN ADULTS AND ADOLESCENTS 12
YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER ONLY.
Your doctor has prescribed this medicine to treat asthma or chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
ASTHMA
DuoResp Spiromax can be prescribed for asthma in two different ways.
A) YOU MAY BE PRESCRIBED TWO ASTHMA INHALERS: DUORESP SPIROMAX
TOGETHER WITH A SEPARATE ‘RELIEVER
INHALER’ SUCH AS SALBUT
