Hello dear, Foracort consists of 2 medications:1. Budesonide- a glucocorticoid which controls the inflammatory process in the airways.2. Formoterol- a long acting bronchodilator.400-200-100 indicates the dosage of Budesonide in micro grams. Since the medications are administered through inhalation, there is minimal risk of systemic side effects. Long term side effects may include symptoms like Palpitations, fluctuations in blood sugar or lipid profile, hoarseness of voice, oral thrush, etc. The symptoms like shivering & tense as mentioned in your post are due to the Formoterol component. These effects are usually mild & well tolerated. However, if it is affecting your quality of life, then kindly seek medical attention. Alternately you can also use:1. MDI Aeroflot 2 puffs twice a day.2. MDI Stalin 2 puffs during acute episodes. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
