Symbicort is a medication used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains two active ingredients, budesonide, and formoterol. Budesonide is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways, while formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that helps to relax the muscles around the airways, making it easier to breathe. Symbicort is suitable for adults and adolescents with asthma or COPD who require both a corticosteroid and a long-acting bronchodilator to manage their condition.
