Symbicort is a prescription asthma inhaler used to treat emphysema and the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This treatment contains a combination of corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and a bronchodilator to improve breathing by relaxing airways. Symbicort is not an emergency inhaler for sudden asthma attacks. Doctors will prescribe Symbicort to help improve lung function and reduce asthma symptoms. Symbicort should be administered twice a day and your dosage is based on the severity of your breathing condition. You can buy Symbicort inhaler Colorado in both brand and generic versions.
