What does it do?

Formoterol fumarate dihydrate is a long-acting beta2 adrenergic agonist that relaxes the bronchial smooth muscle to facilitate breathing. It is primarily used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

This compound binds to the beta2 receptors in the bronchi, leading to the relaxation of smooth muscles. As a result, the bronchi widen, improving airflow and making breathing easier.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
