Foratec : Formoterol Fumarate 12 mcg Rotacaps

FORATEC is indicated for long-term, twice-daily (morning and evening) administration in the maintenance treatment of asthma and in the prevention of bronchospasm in adults and children 5 years of age and older with reversible obstructive airways disease, including patients with symptoms of nocturnal asthma.

Long-acting beta₂-adrenergic agonists may increase the risk of asthma-related death. Therefore, when treating patients with asthma, FORATEC ROTACAPS should only be used as additional therapy for patients not adequately controlled on other asthma-controller medications (e.g., low- to medium-dose inhaled corticosteroids) or whose disease severity clearly warrants initiation of treatment with two maintenance therapies, including FORATEC ROTACAPS. It is not indicated for patients whose asthma can be managed by occasional use of inhaled, short-acting, beta₂-agonists or for patients whose asthma can be successfully managed by inhaled corticosteroids or other controller medications along with occasional use of inhaled, short-acting beta₂-agonists.

FORATEC ROTACAPS is also indicated for the acute prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) in adults and children 5 years of age and older, when administered on an occasional, as-needed basis.

FORATEC ROTACAPS is indicated for the long-term, twice daily (morning and evening) administration in the maintenance treatment of bronchoconstriction in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
