Symbicort is a combination inhaler that combines the medications budesonide and formoterol in order to control and prevent asthma symptoms including shortness of breath and wheezing. Budesonide is a corticosteroid that reduces the swelling and irritation of the airways. Formoterol is a long-acting beta-agonist that works by opening the airways in the lungs in order to make breathing easier.
Symbicort Turbuhaler is an inhalation device with a different delivery system than a Symbicort inhaler.
Symbicort is not a rescue medication and should not be used to treat asthma or bronchospasm attack.
Make sure to always read the patient information and instructions before using this medication. Always follow your doctor’s directions.
