<p>Mometasone furoate is an inhaled corticosteroid- ICS for short. Inhaled corticosteroids help to decrease inflammation in the lungs. Infammation in the lungs can lead to breathing problems. Formoterol fumarate is a long-acting beta-2 agonist- LABA for short. LABA medicines help the muscles around the airways of the lungs stay relaxed to prevent asthma symptoms, such as wheezing, cough, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. These symptoms can happen when the muscles around the airways tighten. This makes it hard to breathe.</p>
