Back in your doctor’s office again?
Connie takes SYMBICORT twice every day.
If your asthma symptoms keep coming
back, you should know what Connie
knows. Asthma doesn’t go away. You still
have inflammation in your airways, making
them more sensitive and likely to constrict.
So even when you’re symptom free,
you’re not asthma free.™
Connie has noticed a difference in her
breathing with SYMBICORT.
SYMBICORT is for people like Connie, who
are 12 years and older, whose doctor has
decided are not well controlled on another
asthma-controller medicine or who need
two asthma-controller medicines.
Inflammation is always in your
airways, even if you can’t feel if.
SYMBICORT
reduces inflammation
and works all day and night.
SYMBICORT combines two medicines in one
product to help control both inflammation and
constriction all day and night. And it starts to
open her airways within 15 minutes.* She knows
that SYMBICORT is not a rescue inhaler and
does not replace one for sudden symptoms.
SYMBICORT is helping Connie control her asthma,
so she’s able to breathe better.
So she’s confident she’s on the right path
Ask your doctor if SYMBICORT is right for you.
