Symbicort Turbuhaler (Budesonide/Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate Dry Powder for Oral Inhalation)

Symbicort Turbuhaler Information:

Symbicort Turbuhaler (generic name: budesonide/formoterol fumarate dihydrate) is a combination inhalation medication for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Symbicort contains the active ingredients budesonide and formoterol Fumarate. Budesonide is a steroid, which works by reducing inflammation in the body. Formoterol Fumarate is a bronchodilator which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways. This helps to improve breathing. Asthma and COPD usually cause symptoms such as feeling heavy in the chest, coughing, struggling to breathe well, sometime painful airways and losing breath easily. These symptoms can often make it difficult for asthma or COPD patients to get involved with heavy exercise; however Symbicort Turbuhaler is designed to enable a more normal lifestyle for patients. In patients with asthma or COPD, the airways become blocked because they become inflamed. Symbicort comes with an inhaler, called the “turbuhaler” which is a fast acting reliever of the symptoms of asthma and COPD, and allows quick action of the drug.
