scienceMechanism of Action (How it works)

expand_more

Fullform 200 Rotacap is a combination of two medicines: Beclometasone and Formoterol. Beclometasone is a steroid. It gets absorbed into the cells of the inner surface of the nose and works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers that cause inflammation (swelling) and allergies. This relieves blocked or runny nose, sneezing and sinus discomfort. Formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.
