Symbicort and budesonide/formoterol are essentially the same medication. Symbicort is a brand name for the combination of budesonide (a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation) and formoterol (a long-acting beta-agonist that opens airways). Budesonide/formoterol is the generic name for the same combination of drugs. The generic version is often more affordable than the brand-name Symbicort, but both medications are equally effective in managing asthma and COPD.
