Hello,

Asthalin 100 mcg is prescribed for people who are suffering from mild asthma. Asthalin 100 mcg has salbutamol. Foracort 200 mcg is commonly prescribed for people who have chronic problem and are also suffering from underlying diseases like COPD, etc. Foracort contains a combination of two medicines, formoterol (6mg) and budesonide(200mcg).

You can consult your treating Pulmonologist if you are having some side effects or if you are uncomfortable taking it. Stay away from smoking, alcohol, recreational drugs or addictions if any.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
