1. WHAT IS THE MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
Foster 200/6 is intended to treat asthma in adults, where use of
a combination product (inhaled corticosteroid and long acting
beta-2-agonist) is appropriate:
• Patients not adequately controlled with inhaled corticosteroids
and “as needed” inhaled short-acting beta-2-agonist, or
• Patients already adequately controlled by combined treatment
with inhaled corticosteroids and long acting beta-2 agonist.
Therapeutic group:
Foster 200/6 is a pressurised inhalation solution containing
two active substances which are inhaled through your mouth
and delivered directly into your lungs.
The two active substances in Foster 200/6 are Beclometasone
dipropionate and Formoterol fumarate dihydrate.
Beclometasone dipropionate belongs to a group called
corticosteroids (also referred to as steroids), which have an
anti-inflammatory action, and reduce swelling and irritation
in the lungs.
Formoterol fumarate dihydrate belongs to a group called beta
agonists, which are long-acting bronchodilators that relax the
muscles in airways and by doing this, making it easier to breathe.
These two active substances make breathing easier. They
also help to prev

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
POSOLOGY
Foster
200/6 is not intended for the initial management of asthma. The dosage
of the components of
Foster 200/6 is individual and should be adjusted to the severity of
the disease. This should be
considered not only when treatment with combination products is
initiated but also when the dose is
adjusted. If an individual patient should require a combination of
doses other than those available in
the combination inhaler, appropriate doses of beta
2
-agonists and/or corticosteroids by individual
inhalers should be prescribed.
Beclometasone dipropionate in Foster 200/6 is characterised by an
extrafine particle size distribution
which results in a more potent effect than formulations of
beclometasone dipropionate with a non-
extrafine particle size distribution (100 micrograms of beclometasone
dipropionate extrafine in Foster
are equivalent to 250 micrograms of beclometasone dipropionate in a
non-extrafine formulatio
