WHAT SYMBICORT TURBOHALER IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Symbicort Turbohaler is an inhaler that is used to treat asthma in
adults and adolescents aged 12 to
17 years. It is also used to treat the symptoms of Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in
adults aged 18 years and older. It contains two different medicines:
budesonide and formoterol
fumarate dihydrate.

Budesonide belongs to a group of medicines called

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.
