AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
SYMBICORT is a fixed-dose combination inhaler containing budesonide (a corticosteroid) and formoterol (a long-acting beta-2 agonist) used to treat asthma and COPD. It works by reducing airway inflammation and bronchospasm through dual mechanisms: corticosteroid hormone receptor agonism and beta-2 adrenergic stimulation. This combination delivery via metered-dose aerosol provides convenient twice-daily maintenance therapy.
