What Is Symbicort?

Symbicort (budesonide + formoterol) is a prescription combination inhaler used to manage asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by combining an inhaled corticosteroid (budesonide) that reduces airway inflammation with a long-acting beta-agonist (formoterol) that relaxes and opens the airways. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, most patients experience fewer flare-ups and better day-to-day breathing control.

Is Online Symbicort Treatment Right for You?

Symbicort is prescribed for adults and adolescents with asthma that is not adequately controlled on an inhaled corticosteroid alone, as well as for adults with COPD. Your Doctronic physician will review your current diagnosis, symptom history, and inhaler use to confirm that a Symbicort refill is appropriate for you.

Because Symbicort acts directly on the lungs and airways, your physician will also consider your respiratory history, any recent changes in breathing symptoms, and whether you are using a short-acting rescue inhaler. Patients with certain cardiac conditions or a history of hypersensitivity to budesonide or formoterol may require additional evaluation.

Frequently asked questions

Symbicort is approved to maintain control of asthma in patients 6 years and older and as a maintenance treatment for airflow obstruction in adults with COPD. It is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used for sudden breathing problems.

Symbicort combines two active ingredients. Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways over time. Formoterol is a long-acting beta-agonist that relaxes the muscles around the airways to help keep them open. Together they provide both anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory effects.

The typical adult dose for asthma is two inhalations twice daily, morning and evening. Your prescribing physician will determine the specific strength and dosing schedule that is right for you based on your symptom severity and treatment history.

No. Symbicort is a maintenance inhaler meant to be used on a regular schedule. You should always have a separate short-acting rescue inhaler, such as albuterol, available for sudden or worsening breathing symptoms.

Common side effects include throat irritation, oral thrush (a fungal infection in the mouth), hoarseness, headache, and upper respiratory tract infections. Rinsing your mouth with water and spitting after each use can help reduce the risk of oral thrush.

Symbicort contains a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA). LABAs may increase the risk of asthma-related hospitalization or death when used without an inhaled corticosteroid. Because Symbicort already contains budesonide, it should not be combined with other standalone LABA medications. Your physician will assess your full medication list before prescribing.
