Symbicort

Symbicort is a prescription inhaler used to help manage asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains two medications: budesonide, which reduces inflammation in the airways, and formoterol, which relaxes airway muscles to improve breathing. By combining these, Symbicort helps prevent symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath, and reduces the frequency of asthma attacks or COPD flare-ups. It is typically used regularly, as directed by a healthcare provider, to maintain better lung function and improve quality of life for individuals with these respiratory conditions.
