Symbicort™ (budesonide/formoterol) Clinical Trial report summaries
 

Symbicort™ (budesonide/formoterol) is indicated for the maintenance treatment of asthma in adults and children aged 6 years and above, where the combination of an inhaled corticosteroid and a long-acting beta 2- agonist is appropriate. It provides both the anti-inflammatory corticosteroid budesonide (Pulmicort®) and the rapid- and long-lasting bronchodilator formoterol (Oxis®) in a single inhaler.

Please consult the prescribing information for the country concerned for guidance on the approved use of Symbicort™ (budesonide/formoterol).
