Symbicort

Logo of SYMBICORT

Symbicort is used for the long-term maintenance treatment of: 
Asthma: It helps control asthma symptoms in adults and children (depending on the specific type and strength) by reducing inflammation and opening airways.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): It's used to manage COPD symptoms, including shortness of breath and coughing, and to reduce the frequency of exacerbations (flare-ups).  

What are the benefits of Symbicort?

  • Combined Action: It combines a corticosteroid (budesonide) to reduce inflammation and a long-acting beta2-agonist (formoterol) to relax airway muscles, providing comprehensive symptom control.  
  • Improved Breathing: By addressing both inflammation and bronchoconstriction (narrowing of airways), it significantly improves breathing and reduces shortness of breath.  
  • Reduced Exacerbations: Regular use helps prevent asthma attacks and COPD flare-ups, leading to fewer hospitalizations and emergency room visits.  
  • Convenience: The combination inhaler simplifies treatment by delivering two medications in a single dose.  
  • Maintenance Therapy: It is used as a maintenance therapy, to control symptoms on a daily basis.  

What types of Symbicort are there?

  • Symbicort Turbuhaler: A dry powder inhaler.  
  • Symbicort Rapihaler (Metered Dose Inhaler): An aerosol inhaler.  
  • Different dosages within each delivery method, containing varying amounts of budesonide and formoterol. Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate strength based on your needs.

Symbicort is manufactured by AstraZeneca.
