VILOR-F 200mcg/25mcg Capsule

VILOR-F 200mcg/25mcg Capsule is a combination medicine used for the long-term management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains Budesonide (200mcg) and Formoterol (25mcg), which work together to improve breathing, reduce airway inflammation, and prevent symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, and shortness of breath.

Budesonide is a corticosteroid that helps decrease inflammation and swelling in the airways, while Formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles and keeps the air passages open for easier breathing. This combination helps improve lung function and lowers the frequency of breathing problems and asthma attacks.

Regular use as prescribed by the doctor helps maintain better respiratory control and improves daily breathing comfort.
