Question 4

What is Symbicort Turbohaler used for?

Symbicort Turbohaler is a '2-in-1' inhaler used to treat asthma and COPD by preventing symptoms and providing relief. It helps to stop wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath before they start.

Question 5

What are the active ingredients in Symbicort?

Accepted Answer

The active ingredients are budesonide, a corticosteroid that reduces swelling and inflammation in the lungs, and formoterol fumarate dihydrate, a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) that relaxes the muscles in the airways.

Question 6

How does the Symbicort treatment work?

It delivers two different types of medicine to address both inflammation and bronchoconstriction. Budesonide reduces underlying sensitivity over time, while formoterol starts working within 1 to 3 minutes to keep airways open for up to 12 hours.

Prime the device, breathe out fully, place the mouthpiece between your teeth, and take a forceful, deep breath in. Always rinse your mouth with water after use to prevent oral infections such as thrush.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Common side effects are usually mild and may include palpitations, trembling or shaking (tremors), oral thrush, a mild sore throat or hoarse voice, and headaches.

Question 10

Can I use Symbicort for an underlying chest infection?

Accepted Answer

Symbicort is designed to manage chronic conditions like asthma and COPD rather than treating acute chest infections. Consult a healthcare professional for a diagnosis and potential antibiotic treatment if you suspect an infection.

Yes, Symbicort Turbohaler is commonly prescribed on the NHS for eligible patients. Mail my Meds provides a platform where you can fulfil both NHS repeat prescriptions and private prescriptions.

Question 12

Accepted Answer

The duration of a single inhaler depends on the number of doses it contains and how frequently you use it. Most Turbohalers have a dose counter on the side to help you track when you need to order a replacement.
