Budesonide + Formoterol Inhaler combines budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid, with formoterol, a long-acting beta2-agonist. It comes as an inhalation powder in the strengths 100/6, 160/4.5, 200/6 and 400/6mcg. It is used for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. AstraZeneca is the originator company; alternative names include Symbicort and Budesonide Formoterol Rotacaps Inhaler.
Budesonide reduces airway inflammation and formoterol relaxes bronchial smooth muscle; onset is 1–3 minutes and duration 12 hours. Do not use it as a rescue inhaler, because it will not stop an asthma attack already under way (MedlinePlus). Rinse your mouth after use and have your heart rate monitored. It is contraindicated in hypersensitivity to either ingredient or acute bronchospasm. Discuss beta-blockers, diuretics and quinidine; do not stop suddenly, as symptoms can worsen. Paradoxical bronchospasm and cardiac arrhythmia need immediate medical attention.
