What is Maxiflo Forte Rotacap?

Maxiflo Forte Rotacap is a combination medication used to treat:

• Asthma (wheezing and shortness of breath)

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (a lung disorder where airflow is blocked)

It works by relaxing the airway muscles, reducing inflammation, and making breathing easier.

How Does Maxiflo Forte Rotacap Work?

It contains two active ingredients:

1. Formoterol (a long-acting bronchodilator) – Relaxes airway muscles, widening the air passages.

2. Fluticasone Propionate (a steroid) – Reduces inflammation by blocking chemicals that cause swelling in the airways.

Together, they help control symptoms and improve breathing.

How to Use Maxiflo Rotacap?

• Do not swallow the capsule.

• Place the capsule in the rotahaler’s base (not the mouthpiece).

• Twist the mouthpiece until you hear a click.

• Breathe in deeply through the mouthpiece.

• Hold your breath for 10 seconds.
