Symbicort - Dosage

Symbicort prescription medication is packaged as a metered-dose inhaler containing budesonide 80 mcg or 160 mcg and formoterol 4.5 mcg.

In the combined form, the drugs in Symbicort are packaged as Symbicort 80/4.5 or Symbicort 160/4.5 regimens.

After inhalation, it is recommended that the patient rinse their mouth with water without swallowing. Symbicort canisters are hydrofluoroalkane-propelled metered dose inhalers containing 60 or 120 actuations.
