Description: Bufomix 160/4.5 mcg Easyhaler is an inhalation powder used for the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. This combination inhaler contains two active ingredients: budesonide, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways, and formoterol, a long-acting beta-agonist that helps to relax the muscles in the airways and improve breathing. The Easyhaler device makes it easier to administer the medication effectively.
