Product Overview
Symbicort Turbohaler is a medication containing the active ingredients Budesonide and Formoterol. It’s a multi-dose dry powder inhaler designed to help manage asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Uses
This Turbohaler is used to treat and control symptoms associated with chronic asthma and COPD, including coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. It can be used by adults and children over 6 years old.
How it Works
The Symbicort Turbohaler utilizes the synergistic effects of Budesonide, a corticosteroid, and Formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator. Budesonide reduces and prevents inflammation in the airways, while Formoterol relaxes the muscles of the airways, widening them and making it easier to breathe.
Dosage and Administration
To use the Turbohaler, unscrew the cap, load a dose by twisting the base, and inhale deeply through the mouthpiece. The exact dosage will depend on the patient’s condition and should be prescribed by a healthcare provider. It is crucial to rinse the mouth with water after using the Turbohaler to reduce the risk of oral infections.

By providing both immediate relief and long-term inflammation control, the Symbicort Turbohaler can significantly improve the quality of life for people with asthma or COPD. Regular use can help reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms, allowing patients to carry on with daily activities more comfortably.

Rarely, it may cause more serious side effects such as fungal infections in the mouth, difficulty speaking, insomnia, and anxiety.
