Frequently asked questions

Is Symbicort a strong asthma medication?

Yes, Symbicort Turbohaler is considered a strong asthma medication because it combines 2 powerful active ingredients: budesonide (a steroid) and formoterol fumarate dihydrate (a long-acting bronchodilator). This dual-action treatment helps manage moderate to severe asthma by reducing inflammation and opening airways, making it effective for patients whose symptoms are not controlled by a steroid-only inhaler.

The Symbicort Turbohaler is available in different dosages, including 100/6 mcg and 200/6 mcg. While the 100/6 mcg dose is often prescribed for milder symptoms, the 200/6 mcg provides a stronger steroid dose for patients with moderate-to-severe asthma who need more intensive daily control.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on the severity of your asthma and your treatment plan. Always follow their instructions and report any changes in your symptoms.

What should I avoid when taking Symbicort?

While using the Symbicort Turbohaler, it’s important to avoid using other medications such as beta-blockers or certain bronchodilators without consulting your doctor. Try to avoid exposure to known asthma triggers like smoke, dust, or pollen, which could cause an asthma attack, and ensure regular asthma check-ups to monitor your condition.

Is Symbicort better than Ventolin?

Symbicort and Ventolin serve different purposes. Symbicort is a preventer inhaler, used daily to control asthma symptoms, while Ventolin is a reliever inhaler that provides quick relief during an asthma attack. Your doctor can help you choose the right treatment based on your asthma management needs.

Is Symbicort a steroid inhaler?

Yes, the Symbicort Turbohaler is a combination inhaler that includes budesonide, a steroid, to reduce inflammation in the airways. It also contains formoterol fumarate dihydrate, which works to relax the airway muscles.

Is Symbicort safe to use during pregnancy?

Symbicort inhalers may be used during pregnancy if your doctor deems it necessary. It’s important to discuss your asthma management plan with your healthcare provider to ensure the safety of both you and your baby.

Do I need any other inhalers alongside Symbicort?

There are different types of inhalers available to help manage asthma symptoms, and you may need more than one inhaler to effectively control your condition. Symbicort Turbohaler is a preventer inhaler designed for daily use to reduce symptoms and the need for reliever inhalers. However, many people also use a reliever inhaler, like salbutamol or Ventolin for quick relief during sudden asthma attack symptoms.

Other common inhalers include Clenil Modulite, which is often prescribed as a steroid-only preventer inhaler.

At ZAVA, our simple online asthma questionnaire makes it easy to reorder additional inhalers you may need to manage your asthma effectively. Your GP can also help determine the right combination of inhalers based on your symptoms and treatment plan.
