When taking Symbicort, it's crucial to avoid a few key things. First and foremost, do not use another medication that contains a LABA (long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist) while using Symbicort. This can lead to serious side effects. Additionally, do not use Symbicort as a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. It is a maintenance medication and won't provide immediate relief. Do not stop taking oral corticosteroids abruptly if you are switching to Symbicort, as this can cause withdrawal symptoms. Lastly, inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions.
