Product Information

  • Description

    Beclometasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid that operates as a glucocorticoid receptor agonist, downregulating the inflammation response through inhibitory pathways involving cytokines and other inflammatory mediators. This action is conducive to reducing inflammation in the lungs and improvement of respiratory function via narrowed blood vessels providing circulation to the site of distress. Formoterol fumarate dihydrate serves as a long-acting beta-adrenergic agonist that activates beta-2 adrenergic receptors, which in turn induce relaxation of smooth muscle tissues surrounding airways pathways. This results in increased airflow and improved pulmonary function. Additionally, formoterol exhibits some anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the release of inflammatory cytokines. When combined, these two drugs yield a synergistic effect, whereby the formulation delivers a combined anti-inflammatory action within the lungs to alleviate symptoms of respiratory ailments.
