Budesonide / formoterol (200/6ug/do) for Breathing problems
I've noticed that I've got a lot more difficulty maintaining my weight than before I was on Symbicort, since I've started using it, I've put on +/- 10 kilos and I can't get them off again. Difficult for me to exercise because I have exertion-triggered asthma.

Budesonide / formoterol (400/12ug/do) for asthma
I've had asthma since birth. Used all necessary medicines. I only need Ventolin now… Alongside that I get singulair (montelukast) for lung infections.

Budesonide / formoterol (160/4,5) for asthma
Only been using this for a few days but it makes me feel like I've got a hangover…so I won't be taking these for a long time. Needed to take it to get rid of a tickly cough that was caused by allergies and mild asthma. It does help but I find the side-effects too bad to use it for a long time.

Budesonide / formoterol (400/12ug/do) for bronchitis
I have been taking this medicine for 2 years for respiratory infections and it works really well, I've been advised to take it when there is an "R" in the month. Because I really suffered for the second year in a row with bronchitis which led to a mucosal infection. On top of this I also take a 2.5 mg spiriva inhaler .

Budesonide / formoterol (200/6ug/do) for asthma
Symbicort helps to prevent inflammation in the airways. It means less or even no ventolin is needed! Excellent medicine, (unfortunately) I can't manage without it (unless I'm on the coast or in the mountains in snow).
