Dulera, also known as Zenhale (generic name), is a corticosteroid (ICS) and long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) used to treat asthma in patients over the age of 5 years. Dulera is indicated for the treatment of asthma in patients who cannot manage their asthma with LABA medication alone.
Dulera contains the active ingredients mometasone (an ICS) and formoterol (a LABA). These ingredients act together to relax the muscles surrounding the airways and lungs. They also lower inflammation, allowing easier airflow in and out of the lungs.
