Duova inhaler combines two key bronchodilators, formoterol and budesonide, to provide comprehensive relief from asthma and copd symptoms. formoterol is a long-acting beta-agonist that relaxes and opens the airways, while budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways. together, these medications help improve lung function, reduce breathlessness, and prevent asthma attacks and copd flare-ups.
