Foracort Junior Inhaler is a combination medication containing Formoterol (6mcg) and Budesonide (100mcg) designed for the management of asthma in pediatric patients. Formoterol is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist that helps relax the muscles in the airways, improving breathing by preventing bronchospasm. Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the airways, thereby decreasing the frequency and severity of asthma attacks.
