Description

What is Luforbec?

Luforbec is a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) that contains two primary active ingredients:

1. Beclometasone dipropionate: A corticosteroid that reduces swelling and irritation in the lungs.
2. Formoterol fumarate dihydrate: A long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in your airways to keep them open for up to 12 hours.

Available Strengths

Depending on the severity of your symptoms and your clinician’s assessment, you may be prescribed:

• Luforbec 100/6: Containing 100 micrograms of beclometasone and 6 micrograms of formoterol.
• Luforbec 200/6: A higher dose of beclometasone for patients requiring more intensive inflammation control.

Luforbec vs Fostair: What is the Difference?

A common question for patients is the distinction between Luforbec vs Fostair.

Luforbec is a bioequivalent (generic) version of Fostair. It contains the exact same active ingredients in the same extra-fine formulation. Because it is bioequivalent, it works in the same way and is often used by the NHS as a cost-effective alternative while maintaining the same high standards of clinical efficacy.

Luforbec Inhaler Uses & Benefits

The Luforbec inhaler is primarily used for the regular treatment of asthma where use of a combination product is appropriate, and for the symptomatic treatment of patients with severe COPD.

• Long-term Control: Reduces the frequency of asthma attacks.
• Improved Airflow: Specifically formulated with “extra-fine” particles that reach deeper into the small airways of the lungs.
• Maintenance and Reliever Therapy (MART): In some cases, clinicians may prescribe Luforbec 100/6 as both a daily preventer and a rescue inhaler (this must be specifically directed by your doctor).

Dosage and Instructions

To ensure maximum efficacy, follow the Luforbec inhaler instructions provided by your healthcare professional.

• Standard Dosage: Usually one or two puffs, twice daily.
• Administration: Shake the inhaler well, exhale fully, and trigger the device at the start of a slow, deep breath.
• Post-Inhalation Care: Always rinse your mouth with water or brush your teeth after use. This prevents the risk of oral thrush and hoarseness.

Side Effects & Safety

Like all medications, Luforbec can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common Luforbec inhaler side effects include:

• Headaches or trembling (tremors).
• Throat irritation or a hoarse voice.
• Fungal infections (thrush) in the mouth.

Important: If you experience sudden chest tightness or increased breathlessness immediately after using the inhaler, stop use and consult a doctor immediately.
