WHAT SYMBICORT MITE TURBUHALER IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Symbicort mite Turbuhaler is an inhaler that is used to treat asthma
in adults, adolescents and children
aged 6 years and older. It contains two different medicines:
budesonide and formoterol fumarate
dihydrate.

Budesonide belongs to a group of medicines called
‘corticosteroids’. It works by reducing and
preventing swelling and inflammation in your lungs.

Formoterol fumarate dihydrate belongs to a group of medicines called
‘long-acting beta
2
adrenoceptor agonists’ or ‘bronchodilators’. It works by
relaxing the muscles in your airways.
This helps you to breathe more easily.
This medicine is not suitable for people with severe asthma. It can be
prescribed for asthma in two
different ways.
A) SOME PEOPLE ARE PRESCRIBED TWO ASTHMA INHALERS: SYMBICORT MITE
TURBUHALER AND A SEPARATE
‘RELIEVER INHALER’.

They use Symbicort mite Turbuhaler every day. This helps to prevent
asthma symptoms from
happening.
