Scientific Evidence
Budesonide and Formoterol, the active ingredients in Simbicort Turbuchaler, have been extensively studied for their efficacy in managing asthma symptoms. Clinical trials have shown that the combination of these two drugs provides better control of asthma compared to using either drug alone. Research published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology has demonstrated the superior effectiveness of budesonide and formoterol in reducing exacerbations and improving lung function in patients with asthma.
Additional Information
It is important to note that Simbicort Turbuchaler is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used for acute asthma attacks. Always carry a quick-relief inhaler with you for sudden asthma symptoms.
Pharmacological Properties
Budesonide is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways, while formoterol is a long-acting beta agonist that helps to relax the muscles in the airways, making breathing easier. This combination works synergistically to provide both anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator effects, improving asthma control.
