This medication is used to control and prevent symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath caused by asthma or ongoing lung diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains two medications: budesonide and formoterol. Budesonide helps reduce irritation and swelling of the airways, while formoterol relaxes the muscles around the airways so that they open up and you can breathe more easily. By controlling symptoms of breathing problems, it can decrease time lost from work or school. It's important to learn how to use this medication properly before using it. If an asthma attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler as prescribed. The combination of inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting beta agonists, such as this product, do not increase the risk of serious asthma-related breathing problems.

This video is an overview of the medications used in patients with asthma. I then briefly discuss the 2019 GINA guidelines and their new recommendation for ICS + formoterol as the preferred rescue agent.

Mometasone and Formoterol is a combination medication used primarily in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)in a couple of countries. Here’s a detailed overview of its pharmacology:

Mechanism of Action
Mometasone: Is a corticosteroid. It reduces inflammation by suppressing the migration of inflammatory cells, decreasing the production of inflammatory mediators, and reversing the dilation of small blood vessels, thereby reducing swelling and mucus production.

Formoterol: Is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA). It relaxes bronchial smooth muscle by stimulating beta2 receptors, leading to bronchodilation3. This helps improve airflow and alleviate symptoms like shortness of breath.

Pharmacokinetics
Absorption: Both drugs are well absorbed when administered via inhalation.

Metabolism: Mometasone undergoes extensive metabolism in the liver (CYP3A4), while formoterol is metabolized via pathways including CYP2D62.

Half-life: Mometasone’s half-life is around 5.8 hours, while formoterol has a half-life of approximately 10-14 hours.

Excretion: Mometasone is excreted mainly via feces and urine, whereas formoterol is excreted via urine and feces.

Clinical Uses
1. Asthma: Mometasone-formoterol inhalers are used for the maintenance treatment of asthma to reduce symptoms and prevent airflow obstruction.

COPD: In some regions, it is also used for the management of moderate to severe COPD, although it is not typically the first-line treatment.

Side Effects
Common: Headache, throat irritation, hoarseness, and dry mouth.

Serious: Potential systemic corticosteroid effects such as adrenal suppression, osteoporosis, hyperglycemia, and increased risk of infections.

Dosage and Administration
Typically administered as an inhalation dose, adjusted to the patient’s condition and response. Common prescriptions include twice daily inhalations.

Asthma medications prescribed by your allergist will help to relieve the coughing attacks.

Mometasone & Formoterol | Medicine Information
Mometasone and Formoterol are two different medications used to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Mometasone is a corticosteroid medication that works by reducing inflammation in the airways. It is usually taken by inhalation and helps to prevent asthma attacks by reducing swelling and mucus production in the airways.

Formoterol, on the other hand, is a long-acting bronchodilator that helps to relax the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. It is also usually taken by inhalation and is often combined with a corticosteroid medication like mometasone for better asthma control.

The combination of mometasone and formoterol is available as a single inhaler device and is commonly prescribed for the treatment of asthma and COPD. The two medications work together to reduce inflammation in the airways and open up the air passages, providing relief from symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and to use these medications as directed to ensure that you are getting the maximum benefit from them while minimizing the risk of side effects.#medicineinformation
