Formoterol is a long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA) used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is a bronchodilator, meaning it relaxes the muscles in the airways, allowing more air to flow in and out of the lungs. Formoterol is typically used in combination with an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) to provide long-term control of symptoms. It is also used as a rescue medication to provide quick relief from acute symptoms. Formoterol is available in both metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) and dry powder inhalers (DPIs). It is also available in combination with other drugs, such as budesonide and mometasone. Formoterol is generally well-tolerated, with few side effects.
