Symbicort

Budesonide/Formoterol Appears Safe, Effective for Asthma Control at 1

Year -

A budesonide/formoterol (Symbicort, AstraZeneca) pressurized metered-

dose inhaler (pMDI) showed safety and better asthma control versus

budesonide alone,

according to the results of a 52-week, double-blind

study published online August 8 in the September-October issue of

Allergy and Asthma Proceedings.

It's doing really good. Was able to do without two meds for one. I do

not like the fact that it leaves a residue. Do you use a spacer with

your Symbicort?

I have Nystatin also, but I have a Melucia mouth rinse that I like better. I guess if I had full blown Thrush, I would use the Nystatin. Thanks for your reply and you have given me the incentive to rinse and brush....lol.
