Aerocort Forte Rotacap is a combination inhaler designed to manage asthma effectively. It works by relaxing airway muscles and reducing inflammation, providing relief from symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness. Although the effects may be noticeable within a few days, maximum benefits appear after several weeks of regular use. Remember, it is not intended for sudden asthma attacks; a separate quick-relief inhaler should be used in emergencies. For more information, see WebMD or Healthline.
