Usage

Symbicort Turbuhaler (Budesonide/Formoterol) is a combination of Budesonide and Formoterol. It prevents bronchospasm in people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (source). This medication is used for the treatment of asthma in patients over the age of 6 years old whose asthma is not well-controlled with other asthma medications. Budesonide is a steroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs and airways. Formoterol is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways, making breathing easier. Symbicort is a maintenance treatment and is not used to treat a sudden asthma or bronchospasm attack (source). For quick relief of your asthma symptoms, use a rescue inhaler such as Albuterol.

It is crucial to take the medication exactly as your doctor prescribes or refer to the package insert. Please consult with your doctor for personalized advice.
