Introduction
The combination medication FORMOTEROL FUMARATE+FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE is primarily used to treat and prevent asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which the airways narrow, swell, and produce excess mucus, making breathing difficult. COPD is a group of lung diseases that includes emphysema (breathing difficulty) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Usage
Inhaler: Hold the inhaler so that the mouthpiece is facing down. Place your lips around the mouthpiece to form a tight seal. Begin breathing slowly through your mouth and press the inhaler once. Remove the inhaler and resume normal breathing.
