Quick tips
Aerocort Forte Rotacap
- You have been prescribed Aerocort Forte Rotacap for the treatment of asthma.
- This medicine is for inhalation only. The tablet should not be swallowed.
- Take it at the same time everyday to maintain consistent level of medicine in your body.
- It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden breathing problems. Use your rescue inhaler to control sudden difficulty in breathing.
