Symbicort is a treatment option for asthma and COPD. It contains budesonide (an inflammation-reducing steroid) and formoterol (relaxes muscles in the airways). Symbicort is not intended to replace a fast acting inhaler and should not be used during an asthma attack. It’s usually taken with a combination of other drugs and the dosage may vary. You’ll need to prime the inhaler before using it for the first time, if you drop it, or if you haven’t used it for more than 7 days by pumping two test sprays into the air away from your face. You should also shake the inhaler for 5 seconds before each use. It also can take 2 weeks before you start seeing improvement in your asthma/COPD symptoms.
Symbicort should be stored at room temperature, away from sunlight, excessive heat and moisture. Try to keep the cover of your Symbicort inhaler on when you’re not using it.
Note that Symbicort may increase the chances of an asthma-related death. As always, consult with your doctor before taking Symbicort.
