Description:
Yovanny Inhaler is a prescription medication designed for the management of respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It combines two active ingredients: budesonide, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs, and formoterol fumarate dihydrate, a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) that helps in relaxing the muscles of the airways to improve breathing.
