Term Name:	formoterol fumarate
Synonyms:	formoterol hemifumarate, rac-bis[(2R)-N-{(2R)-2-[3-(formylamino)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-2-hydroxyethyl}-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)propan-2-aminium] (2E)-but-2-enedioate, rac-N-{2-hydroxy-5-[(1R)-1-hydroxy-2-{[(2R)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)propan-2-yl]amino}ethyl]phenyl}formamide (2E)-but-2-enedioate
Definition:	A racemate consisting of equal amounts of arformoterol fumarate (the active enantiomer) and (S,S)-formoterol fumarate (the inactive enantiomer).
