Symbicort 200 Turbohaler, 120 Doses
What Symbicort 200 Turbohaler is and what it is used for?
Symbicort 200 Turbohaler is an inhaler that is used to treat asthma in adults and adolescents aged 12 – 17 years. It is also used to treat the symptoms of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in adults aged 18 years and older. It contains two different medicines: budesonide and formoterol fumarate dihydrate.
- Budesonide belongs to a group of medicines called ‘corticosteroids’. It works by reducing and preventing swelling and inflammation in your lungs.
- Formoterol fumarate dihydrate belongs to a group of medicines called ‘long-acting beta2 adrenoceptor agonists’ or ‘bronchodilators’. It works by relaxing the muscles in your airways. This helps you to breathe more easily.
Asthma
Symbicort Turbohaler can be prescribed for asthma in two different ways.
a) Some people are prescribed two asthma inhalers: Symbicort Turbohaler and a separate ‘reliever inhaler’.
- They use Symbicort Turbohaler every day. This helps to prevent asthma symptoms from happening.
- They use their ‘reliever inhaler’ when they get asthma symptoms, to make it easier to breathe again.
b) Some people are prescribed Symbicort Turbohaler as their only asthma inhaler.
- They use Symbicort Turbohaler every day. This helps to prevent asthma symptoms from happening.
- They also use Symbicort Turbohaler when they need extra doses for relief of asthma symptoms, to make it easier to breathe again and if agreed with the doctor also to prevent asthma symptoms from happening (for example, when exercising or on exposure to allergens). They do not need a separate inhaler for this.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Symbicort Turbohaler can also be used to treat the symptoms of COPD in adults. COPD is a long-term disease of the airways in the lungs, which is often caused by cigarette smoking.
What is Asthma?
Asthma is a common lung condition that causes occasional breathing difficulties.
It affects people of all ages and often starts in childhood, although it can also develop for the first time in adults.
There\’s currently no cure, but there are simple treatments that can help keep the symptoms under control so it does not have a big impact on your life.
The main symptoms of asthma are:
- a whistling sound when breathing (wheezing)
- breathlessness
- a tight chest, which may feel like a band is tightening around it
- coughing
The symptoms can sometimes get temporarily worse. This is known as an asthma attack.
See a doctor if you think you or your child may have asthma
Asthma is usually treated by using an inhaler, a small device that lets you breathe in medicines.
The main types are:
- reliever inhalers – used when needed to quickly relieve asthma symptoms for a short time
- preventer inhalers – used every day to prevent asthma symptoms happening
Some people also need to take tablets.
Asthma is caused by swelling (inflammation) of the breathing tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. This makes the tubes highly sensitive, so they temporarily narrow.
It may happen randomly or after exposure to a trigger.
Common asthma triggers include:
- allergies (to house dust mites, animal fur or pollen, for example)
- smoke, pollution and cold air
- exercise
- infections like colds or flu
Identifying and avoiding your asthma triggers can help you keep your symptoms under control.
Asthma is a long-term condition for many people, particularly if it first develops when you\’re an adult.
In children, it sometimes goes away or improves during the teenage years, but can come back later in life.
The symptoms can usually be controlled with treatment. Most people will have normal, active lives, although some people with more severe asthma may have ongoing problems.
Although asthma can normally be kept under control, it\’s still a serious condition that can cause a number of problems.
This is why it\’s important to follow your treatment plan and not ignore your symptoms if they\’re getting worse.
Badly controlled asthma can cause problems such as:
- feeling tired all the time
- underperformance at, or absence from, work or school
- stress, anxiety or depression
- disruption of your work and leisure because of unplanned visits to a GP or hospital
- lung infections (pneumonia)
- delays in growth or puberty in children
There\’s also a risk of severe asthma attacks, which can be life threatening.
