What is SYMBICORT?
Prescription SYMBICORT® (budesonide/formoterol fumarate dihydrate) Inhalation Aerosol is a controller medicine for the long-term maintenance treatment of asthma. SYMBICORT is for people 12 years and older whose doctor has decided are not well controlled on another asthma-controller medicine or who need two asthma-controller medicines.

So, SYMBICORT should be used only if your health care professional decides another asthma-controller medicine alone does not control your asthma or you need two controller medicines.
While taking SYMBICORT, never use another medicine containing a LABA. What other important safety information should I know about SYMBICORT?
• SYMBICORT wont replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms. Do not use SYMBICORT more than twice a day.
• If you are taking SYMBICORT, see your health care professional if your asthma does not improve or gets worse.
• Some people may experience increased blood pressure, heart rate, or change in heart rhythm. Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure.
• If you are switching to SYMBICORT from an oral corticosteroid, follow your doctors instructions to avoid health risks when you stop using oral corticosteroids.
