Foradil (formoterol fumarate)

Last updated on: Jan 24, 2007

What Is Foradil?

Foradil Aerolizer is a medicine called a ?long-acting beta-agonist? and is a long-acting bronchodilator medicine.   Bronchodilator medicines help to relax the muscles around the airways in your lungs.  Wheezing happens when the muscles around the airways tighten.   This makes it hard to breathe.   In severe cases, wheezing can stop your breathing and cause death if not treated right away. 

Foradil Aerolizer does NOT relieve sudden breathing problems. Always have a short-acting bronchodilator medicine with you to treat sudden breathing problems.

Foradil Aerolizer is used for:

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Foradil Aerolizer is used long-term, twice-a-day in controlling wheezing (bronchospasm) in adults with COPD.
