Maxiflo Forte Rotacap – Asthma and COPD Maintenance Therapy

Maxiflo Forte Rotacap is used for the long-term treatment of asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It works by relaxing the air passages and reducing inflammation, making it easier to breathe. This medicine is not meant for immediate relief of sudden asthma attacks. It should be used regularly to maintain control over symptoms and prevent flare-ups.

Uses of Maxiflo Forte Rotacap:

• Treatment of Asthma
• Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Benefits of Maxiflo Forte Rotacap:

• Improves breathing by relaxing airway muscles

How Maxiflo Forte Rotacap Works?

The Rotacap is a combination of two active ingredients:

• Formoterol: A long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the airway muscles and keeps airways open.
• Fluticasone Propionate: A corticosteroid that prevents and controls inflammation in the airways.

Together, they provide long-term control of asthma and COPD symptoms.

How to Use Maxiflo Forte Rotacap?

1. Do not swallow Rotacaps.
2. Place one capsule in the base of the Rotahaler, not in the mouthpiece.
3. Twist the mouthpiece until you hear a click (this pierces the capsule).
4. Inhale deeply through the mouthpiece.
5. Hold your breath for 10 seconds to allow the medication to settle in your lungs.
6. If powder remains in the Rotahaler, repeat the process.

Important: Use regularly, even if you feel well. Do not stop unless advised by your doctor.
