Mdicorval 200/6µgm Inhaler 120 Metered Doses

Mdicorval Inhaler 120 Metered Doses 500/6 Mg

Description:

Mdicorval Inhaler 120 Metered Doses 500/6 mg is a prescription maintenance asthma and COPD medicine containing the combination of budesonide (an inhaled corticosteroid) and formoterol (a long-acting beta2-agonist bronchodilator). It is designed for long-term control of chronic breathing problems, helping to reduce airway inflammation and keep the airways open for easier breathing. This inhaler is not a rescue inhaler and must not be used for sudden asthma attacks; a separate quick-relief inhaler (such as salbutamol) is required for acute symptoms. Each canister delivers 120 metered actuations for regular daily use under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Long-term maintenance treatment of bronchial asthma in adults and adolescents when combination therapy (inhaled corticosteroid + long-acting bronchodilator) is indicated.
• Management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, to reduce exacerbations and improve lung function (when prescribed by a physician).
• Helps decrease frequency and severity of symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, chronic cough, and shortness of breath.
• Prevention of asthma exacerbations in patients not adequately controlled on inhaled corticosteroids alone and requiring a fixed-dose combination.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Budesonide – 500 mcg per metered dose (inhaled corticosteroid that reduces airway inflammation and swelling).
• Formoterol fumarate dihydrate – 6 mcg per metered dose (long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist that relaxes bronchial smooth muscle and widens the airways).
• Other excipients: Exact list of inactive ingredients (propellants, stabilizers, etc.) is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the product leaflet for full excipient details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as prescribed by your doctor. Do not change your dose or stop using the inhaler without medical advice.
• Typical adult and adolescent dose (example regimen – your doctor may adjust): 1–2 inhalations twice daily (morning and evening). The exact dose and frequency depend on disease severity and prior treatment.
• Maximum daily dose must be determined by your physician; do not exceed the prescribed number of inhalations per day.
• For inhalation only. Do not swallow or inject.
• General use steps (always follow the patient leaflet):
  • 1. Remove the cap and check the mouthpiece to ensure it is clean and free of particles.
  • 2. Shake the inhaler well before each use as directed in the leaflet.
  • 3. Breathe out gently away from the inhaler.
  • 4. Place the mouthpiece between your lips, forming a tight seal.
  • 5. Start to breathe in slowly and deeply through your mouth, and at the same time press down on the canister to release one dose.
  • 6. Continue to breathe in fully, then remove the inhaler and hold your breath for about 5–10 seconds or as long as comfortable.
  • 7. Breathe out slowly. If more than one puff is prescribed, wait about 30 seconds and repeat the steps.
• Rinse your mouth with water after each dose and spit it out to help reduce the risk of oral thrush and hoarseness.
• This inhaler is for regular maintenance use and must be used every day, even when you feel well, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Do not use this product to relieve sudden attacks of breathlessness. Always keep a fast-acting rescue inhaler (e.g. salbutamol) available for acute symptoms.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides dual action control by reducing airway inflammation (budesonide) and maintaining long-lasting bronchodilation (formoterol) for up to 12 hours.
• Helps improve lung function, making breathing easier and reducing day- and night-time asthma or COPD symptoms.
• Reduces the frequency and severity of asthma and COPD exacerbations when used regularly as prescribed.
• Supports better exercise tolerance and daily activity performance by controlling chronic respiratory symptoms.
• Convenient fixed-dose combination inhaler with 120 metered doses, improving treatment adherence and simplifying maintenance therapy.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Use only under medical supervision. This is a prescription medicine for chronic asthma and COPD control, not for emergency treatment.
• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to budesonide, formoterol, or any of the excipients.
• Not suitable for relief of acute bronchospasm or sudden asthma attacks. A separate rapid-acting bronchodilator inhaler must be used for acute symptoms.
• Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disorders (such as ischemic heart disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, hypertension), hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, seizure disorders, or severe liver impairment.
• Inhaled corticosteroids may increase the risk of oral candidiasis (thrush), hoarseness, and, with long-term high-dose use, potential systemic effects such as adrenal suppression, decreased bone mineral density, and growth retardation in adolescents. Regular monitoring is recommended.
• Long-acting beta2-agonists (LABAs) like formoterol should always be used in combination with an inhaled corticosteroid in asthma and not as monotherapy.
• If breathing worsens, wheezing increases, or rescue inhaler use becomes more frequent, seek medical attention immediately; your treatment may need adjustment.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. The physician will weigh potential benefits and risks.
• Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking, especially other bronchodilators, beta-blockers, diuretics, MAO inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, and systemic corticosteroids.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical evaluation and prescription.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include: throat irritation, cough after inhalation, hoarseness or voice changes, oral thrush (white patches in the mouth), headache, palpitations, mild tremor, and nervousness.
• Less common side effects can include: muscle cramps, nausea, dizziness, increased heart rate (tachycardia), and skin reactions such as rash.
• Serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention): severe worsening of breathing or wheezing right after use (paradoxical bronchospasm), severe allergic reactions (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing; severe rash), chest pain, marked palpitations, or signs of adrenal suppression (extreme fatigue, weakness, low blood pressure).
• Long-term high-dose use of inhaled corticosteroids may rarely contribute to decreased bone mineral density, cataracts, glaucoma, and growth suppression in adolescents; regular check-ups are advised.
• If you experience any unexpected or persistent side effects, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
