Symbicort Turbohaler is an inhaled preventative treatment for asthma and contains two active ingredients to help effectively minimise the risk of asthma symptoms and attacks. It contains budesonide which is a type of steroid that actively helps minimise inflammation and formoterol fumarate dehydrate which helps to widen and relax airways to ease breathing. This treatment will usually be recommended to be used alongside a reliever treatment such as Ventolin, but it can be prescribed as a treatment on its own.
Symbicort is also used for individuals dealing with severe COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), who have repeated attacks of breathlessness, despite regularly using long-acting bronchodilators (e.g. formoterol or salmeterol). For patients suffering COPD the recommended dose is Symbicort 160/4.5, a dosage that is not available to buy on Allschoolabs. The turbohaler has to be used twice a day with two inhalations each. Please seek advice from our doctors if you want to use one of the Symbicort dosages available at Allschoolabs to treat COPD to ensure suitability.
Please note – orders approved before 4:30 pm Monday to Friday (excluding weekends and bank holidays) will be received the next day.
