How it works
Beclometasone dipropionate anhydrous belongs to a group of medicines commonly referred to as steroids (technically corticosteroids). Steroids both treat and prevent symptoms of asthma. They reduce the inflammation, swelling and irritation in the small air passages of the lungs. – Formoterol fumarate dihydrate belongs to a group of medicines called long-acting bronchodilators. These relax the muscles in your airways, widening the airways so that it is easier for you to breathe air in and out of your lungs .
