Overview

Symbicort 80mcg/4.5mcg Turbuhaler is a prescription combination inhaler that manages long-term symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). By targeting both airway inflammation and muscle tightness, it makes breathing easier and helps maintain daily respiratory health.

How It Works

• Budesonide – an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways.

• Formoterol – a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles for smoother airflow.

  Together, they provide lasting asthma and COPD relief when used regularly.
