Description

Symbicort Turbohaler for Asthma & Breathing Problems

Asthma is a common lung condition that can cause a range of breathing difficulties that happen randomly or after exposure to a trigger. Triggers may include common allergies to pollen or animal dander, infections, environmental changes or from exercise.

The Symbicort Turbohaler is a medication that treats asthma and helps to reduce breathing difficulties including wheezing, breathlessness, a tight feeling in the chest and coughing. This inhaler can be used daily to prevent symptoms, or as a reliever inhaler to treat symptoms if they suddenly arise.


What is a Symbicort Turbohaler and how does it work?

The Symbicort Turbohaler contains two medicines, a corticosteroid called budesonide and a bronchodilator called formoterol fumarate dihydrate. These active ingredients work together to reduce and prevent swelling and inflammation in the lungs. They also relax the airway muscles to aid breathing.

A Turbohaler is a breath-activated device that releases a dry-powder form of medication when you inhale on the mouthpiece. This medicine does not have propellant. 

This medication should not be used by people with severe asthma. 


Is a Symbicort Turbohaler right for me?

If you are diagnosed with asthma, COPD or other breathing condition, you may be prescribed a Symbicort Turbohaler by a doctor or healthcare professional. However, it may not be suitable for you if you have the following:

  • If you are allergic to budesonide, formoterol or any other ingredients in this medicine
  • If you are diabetic
  • If you have a lung infection
  • If you have a history or are taking medication for heart or liver problems
  • If you have high blood pressure
  • If you have problems with your adrenal or thyroid gland
  • If you have low potassium in your blood
  • If you are taking steroid medication or medication for an infection
  • If you are taking any other asthma medication, such as other bronchodilators, xanthine medicines 
  • If you are taking antidepressants or medicine for HIV infections, Parkinson's disease or thyroid concerns.

Side Effects

All medications can cause potential side effects, below we have listed some potential side effects of the Symbicort Turbohaler. However, these do not always occur and are mostly mild in nature. But if you experience any prolonged or worrying side effects of the Symbicort Turbohaler, please discontinue the medication immediately and consult your doctor.

Common side effects include:

  • Palpitations, trembling or shaking
  • Thrush in the mouth
  • Mild sore throat
  • Coughing
  • Hoarse voice
  • Headache

Additional Information

Budesonide is a steroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs, and formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles around the airways. Symbicort Turbuhalers are available in different sizes and strengths, so it is important to choose the right one for your needs. If you have never used a Symbicort Turbuhaler before, or if you are unsure which one is right for you, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.


What is the difference between Symbicort and Salamol?

Symbicort and Salamol are both inhalers that are used to relieve asthma symptoms. They both contain active ingredients that reduce inflammation in the lungs and relax the muscles around the airways. However, Symbicort also contains a long-acting bronchodilator (formoterol) that can provide quick relief from asthma symptoms. Because of this, Symbicort is often used as a "rescue" inhaler for people with severe asthma attacks. Salamol does not contain a bronchodilator and is typically used as a "maintenance" inhaler to prevent asthma symptoms from occurring.


How do I use a Symbicort Turbuhaler?

When using a Symbicort Turbuhaler, it is important to follow the instructions on the packaging carefully. To use a Symbicort Turbuhaler, remove the cap and hold the inhaler upright. Prime the inhaler by turning the dial to the "Start" position and then release two puffs of medication into the air, away from your face. Inhale deeply and evenly, and hold your breath for 10 seconds before exhaling. If you are using more than one puff of medication, wait at least 30 seconds between puffs.


What are the side effects of Symbicort?

Common side effects of Symbicort include headache, sore throat, cough, and upper respiratory tract infections. Some people may also experience anxiety, shaking, or nervousness. If you experience any of these side effects, speak to your doctor.


Can I take Symbicort while breastfeeding?

Symbicort is not recommended for use during pregnancy unless the potential benefits outweigh the risks. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, speak to your doctor before using Symbicort. Symbicort is also not recommended for use while breastfeeding. If you are breastfeeding, speak to your doctor before using Symbicort.

How to use a Symbicort Turbohaler?

Always use a Symbicort Turbohaler exactly as prescribed by your doctor or advised by the pharmacist. The recommended starting dose for adults is one inhalation (100/6) to relieve asthma, however, in presence of other factors, this may be increased or decreased accordingly as per the prescriber's clinical judgement. 

For adults with asthma:

  • If you are using Symbicort Turbohaler and a separate reliever -  the usual dose is one or two inhalations, twice a day. Your doctor may increase this to 4 inhalations, twice a day.
  • If you are using Symbicort Turbohaler as your only asthma inhaler - two inhalations a day
  • The maximum dose is 12 inhalations in a 24-hour period

Instructions:

  • Follow the guidelines for preparing your new Turbohaler 
  • Unscrew the cover and hold your Turbohaler upright with the red grip at the bottom.
  • Load your Turbohaler with a dose of medicine by turning the red grip as far as it will go in one direction then turn it as far as it will go in the other direction. You should hear a click sound.
  • Start to breathe as slowly as possible just before using your inhaler
  • Hold it away from your mouth and breathe out gently. Do not breathe out through the Turbohaler.
  • Place the mouthpiece in your mouth between your teeth and close your lips, do not bite it
  • Breathe in as deeply and as hard as you can through your mouth
  • Remove the Turbohaler from your mouth
  • Rinse your mouth out with water after your daily morning and/or evening doses and spit it out.
  • If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, consult your doctor before using this medicine

Do not use your inhaler more often than the doctor told you to.

Warnings and Precautions

The Symbicort Turbohaler may not be safe if taken with other medication or recreational drugs. Please inform the prescriber if you are taking any of the listed medications.

DO NOT use the Symbicort Turbohaler:

  • If you are allergic to  budesonide, formoterol or any other ingredients in this medicine
  • If you are diabetic
  • If you have a lung infection
  • If you have a history or are taking medication for heart or liver problems
  • If you have high blood pressure
  • If you have problems with your adrenal or thyroid gland
  • If you have low potassium in your blood
  • If you are taking steroid medication or medication for an infection

Symbicort Inhaler: Asthma Treatment

What is Symbicort Inhaler?

Symbicort is an advanced prescription medication in inhaler form developed by AstraZeneca, a prominent global pharmaceutical company. The product combines two active ingredients, budesonide, a corticosteroid, and formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator. It is the harmonious working of these two elements that leads to both relief and control of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

How does Symbicort work?

The operation of Symbicort is attributed to the collaborative action of its two key components, budesonide and formoterol. Budesonide, a potent corticosteroid, alleviates inflammation within the lungs, which is achieved by blocking the activation of inflammatory cells and the release of inflammatory mediators. Formoterol, on the other hand, operates as a long-acting bronchodilator that binds with beta-2 receptors found in the bronchial smooth muscle cells, leading to muscle relaxation and, thus widened airways.

What is Symbicort used for?

Symbicort is primarily used in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is efficacious in treating the symptoms associated with these conditions and aids in the prevention of asthma symptoms. It is to be noted, though, that Symbicort is not for the treatment of acute bronchospasm or asthma.

What type of inhaler is Symbicort?

Symbicort falls under the category of combination inhalers. The classification comes from the fact that it combines two medications: budesonide and formoterol. Budesonide falls under the class of corticosteroids, and formoterol is classified as a long-acting beta-agonist. As such, Symbicort brings together an anti-inflammatory and a bronchodilator, working in tandem to provide comprehensive treatment for asthma and COPD.

Is Symbicort a steroid inhaler?

Yes, Symbicort is classified as a steroid inhaler, courtesy of its ingredient budesonide, a potent corticosteroid. Corticosteroids work by reducing inflammation in the airways, which is a key contributor to asthma and COPD symptoms. By minimising the inflammation, Symbicort aids in improving airflow and reducing the severity of symptoms.

What are the benefits of using Symbicort?

Utilising Symbicort avails multiple benefits to the user by treating and preventing symptoms as well as its ease to use. Firstly, it functions dually by not only treating symptoms but preventing their onset. Secondly, it integrates an anti-inflammatory agent and a bronchodilator into a single inhaler, eliminating the need for multiple medications. Lastly, the ease of use provided by the inhaler format allows for the effective and convenient management of symptoms.

Is Symbicort a strong asthma medication?

Yes, Symbicort indeed ranks as a potent asthma medication. It is usually prescribed when lower-strength medications or single-ingredient inhalers fail to adequately control symptoms. Given its dual-action properties, it's effective in managing both the inflammatory and bronchoconstriction aspects of asthma.

Is Symbicort a COPD inhaler?

Yes, Symbicort is employed not just in the management of asthma, but in treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The condition is characterised by chronic bronchitis and emphysema, both of which cause severe breathlessness. Symbicort aids in managing these symptoms and improving lung function over time.

Who can use Symbicort?

Symbicort is recommended for adults and children over six years of age who require treatment for asthma or COPD. However, it's crucial to emphasise that the medication is not suitable for everyone. Certain individuals, especially those with allergies to budesonide, formoterol, or any other components of the medication, must avoid its use. The same applies to people with certain health conditions or those taking specific medications. It's always recommended that an individual consults with their healthcare professional to determine if Symbicort is suitable for them.

What is a Turbohaler?

The Turbohaler is a specific type of inhaler device used to deliver various medications, including the Symbicort medication. Designed with user convenience in mind, the Turbohaler is breath-actuated, meaning that the medication is released when the user inhales, eliminating the need for synchronising the pressing and inhaling steps that traditional metered-dose inhalers require. The Turbohaler operates without propellants, making it a greener alternative to some traditional inhalers. Its dose indicator shows how much medication remains, assisting in ensuring consistent and timely medication delivery.

Who Manufactures Symbicort?

Symbicort is manufactured by AstraZeneca, a multinational pharmaceutical company based in the United Kingdom. AstraZeneca is known for developing and producing a wide range of medications for various therapeutic areas, including respiratory diseases.

Symbicort Inhaler Dosage & Usage

Symbicort dosages

Symbicort dosages typically range between one to two inhalations twice daily. The medication comes in two strengths: Symbicort 80/4.5 and Symbicort 160/4.5. The strength used depends on the severity of the individual's asthma or COPD. In all cases, the dosage must be personalised based on the severity of the condition and the patient's response to the medication.

What is the active ingredient?

Symbicort consists of two active ingredients: budesonide and formoterol. Budesonide is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, while formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes muscles around the airways, improving breathing.

How to use your Symbicort inhaler

The correct usage of the Symbicort inhaler is crucial for the medication to work effectively and is found in the patient leaflet. Start by holding the inhaler upright, then twist the coloured grip as far as it goes and then back again until it clicks. Breathe out as far as comfortable, then place the mouthpiece in the mouth. Breathe in deeply and steadily. Hold the breath for about 10 seconds to allow the medicine to reach deep into the lungs. Always rinse the mouth with water and spit it out after each dose to prevent thrush, a common side effect of inhaled steroids. If unsure how to use it, consult with a healthcare provider. 

When should I use my inhaler?

Symbicort is typically used twice daily. A healthcare professional is able to guide the user on when to use their inhaler based on the individual needs and the severity of their condition. However, Symbicort is not a reliever inhaler and must not be used to relieve an asthma attack.

How long does a Symbicort Inhaler take to work?

Symbicort begins working shortly after inhalation. Formoterol, one of the active ingredients, starts to work within a few minutes, while budesonide, the steroid component, might take a few days or weeks to achieve its full effect.

How often can I use my Symbicort inhaler?

The Symbicort inhaler is typically used twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. However, a healthcare provider is able to establish the frequency based on the individual's condition severity.

How many puffs of Symbicort is safe?

The recommended dosage is typically one to two puffs twice a day. It's essential to not exceed the prescribed dosage without consulting with a healthcare professional, as this might increase the risk of side effects.

How to maintain your Symbicort inhaler?

To keep the Symbicort inhaler in good working condition, it's vital to keep it dry and clean. Never attempt to wash the inhaler, but use a dry cloth to wipe the mouthpiece. Always store the inhaler with the mouthpiece down to prevent the medication from accidentally being released.

How long can you be on Symbicort?

The length of time Symbicort is taken is based on the individual's needs and response to the medication. Some individuals are able to use it for an extended period, while others might use it for shorter periods. A healthcare professional is able to monitor a person's condition and adjust treatment as necessary.

How many times a day can you use Symbicort Turbuhaler?

The Symbicort Turbuhaler is typically used twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. However, the exact frequency and dosage must be personalised to the individual's needs, as guided by a healthcare professional.

How to store your Symbicort inhaler

To ensure the Symbicort inhaler remains effective, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. The temperature must ideally not exceed 30°C. Keep the inhaler out of sight and reach of children. It's crucial to keep the inhaler in an upright position with the mouthpiece down when not in use.

How do I withdraw from Symbicort?

Withdrawal from Symbicort must always be under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Abrupt discontinuation might lead to the return of severe asthma or COPD symptoms. The process usually involves gradually reducing the dosage under careful medical supervision.

Can Symbicort cause hair loss?

No, hair loss is not a common side effect of Symbicort, however, a small number of users have reported it. If hair loss occurs and is bothersome, consult a healthcare provider. The provider is able to help determine if Symbicort is the cause and guide appropriate steps.

Does Symbicort cause high blood pressure?

Although rare, Symbicort might cause an increase in blood pressure in some individuals. It's important for individuals with a history of high blood pressure to have their blood pressure monitored regularly while using the medication.

Can Symbicort cause eye problems?

No, eye problems are unlikely to occur. However, long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids like Symbicort potentially leads to eye problems such as cataracts and glaucoma. Regular eye exams are recommended to catch any potential issues early.

Can you take cough medicine with Symbicort?

Yes, most cough medicines are used safely with Symbicort. However, always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new medication, including over-the-counter cough medicine, to ensure there are no interactions.

Can you take Symbicort and prednisone together?

Yes, Symbicort and prednisone are taken together, particularly during severe asthma or COPD flare-ups. However, due to the potential for increased side effects, the combination must only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Can I use Symbicort and Atrovent together?

Yes, Symbicort and Atrovent work in different ways to help control symptoms of COPD and asthma and are often used together safely. As with any combination of medications, usage must be under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

Can you drink alcohol with Symbicort?

Yes, moderate consumption of alcohol is usually safe with Symbicort. However, excessive alcohol consumption might worsen the symptoms of asthma or COPD and must be avoided. Always consult a healthcare professional if unsure.

Remember, while Symbicort effectively manages symptoms of asthma and COPD, it's essential to understand the potential side effects and considerations. Always consult a healthcare professional when making decisions regarding medication use.

All orders placed before 14:00 from Monday to Friday will be dispatched that day. The orders are sent using 24 Hour Tracked delivery provided by Royal Mail. Items will usually arrive the very next day after the order has been placed. We also provide tracking for your orders to check the status and location of your parcel. All our medication is packaged in plain confidential padded white or brown envelopes. This ensures that your orders are discreet, and the content of the orders will be for your eyes only.

What is the difference between Symbicort and Symbicort Turbohaler?

The Symbicort Turbohaler is a type of inhaler that delivers the medication directly to the lungs. It is more efficient than other types of inhalers, and it can be used with or without a spacer device. The Symbicort Turbohaler is also easier to use than other types of inhalers, and it can be used with or without a mask.

When is the best time to use a Symbicort Turbohaler?

The best time to use a Symbicort Turbohaler is when you need it. If you have asthma, your doctor may recommend that you use it every day. If you have COPD, you may only need to use it when your symptoms get worse.

How do I order my medication?

Some products only require an online consultation which approximately takes 1 minute to complete, enabling you to then buy the product. Other products will also require a prescription; in this case, you will need to complete the online consultation, and then one of our partner pharmacy prescribers or doctors will review the online consultation questions and approve the order for delivery if you are eligible to purchase the item.

Can I cancel or return my order?

For non-medicinal products, you are eligible to return the product within 14 days of receipt in the same packaging you received. For medicinal products, you are eligible to cancel the order only until it has been dispatched. From that point forward, you are no longer eligible to return the order.

You have the right to cancel your order for medication up to the point when your medication is dispatched.
