Symbicort is a combination inhaler that contains two medications: budesonide and formoterol. Budesonide is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways of your lungs. Formoterol is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles around your airways, helping to open them up and make breathing easier. Together, these medications help to control and prevent symptoms of asthma and COPD like wheezing and shortness of breath. Symbicort is not a rescue inhaler for sudden attacks; rather, it's used for long-term management of these conditions.
