under control with the help of SYMBICORT.

When my symptoms came back, my doctor and I chose SYMBICORT to help improve my lung function.

SYMBICORT helps me breathe better all day, starting within 15 minutes.* It won’t replace a rescue inhaler

for sudden symptoms. Unlike most controller medicines, SYMBICORT combines two medicines to help

control inflammation and constriction.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SYMBICORT

Important Safety Information About SYMBICORT for Asthma

SYMBICORT contains formoterol, a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA).

Medicines containing LABAs may increase the chance of asthma-

related death. So, SYMBICORT should be used only if your health care

professional decides another asthma-controller medicine alone does

not control your asthma or you need two controller medicines.

While taking SYMBICORT, never use another medicine containing a LABA.

SYMBICORT won’t replace rescue inhalers for sudden asthma symptoms. Do

not use SYMBICORT more than twice a day. If you are taking SYMBICORT, see

your health care professional if your asthma does not improve or gets worse.

Some people may experience increased blood pressure, heart rate, or

change in heart rhythm. Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition

or high blood pressure. If you are switching to SYMBICORT from an oral

corticosteroid, follow your doctor’s instructions to avoid health risks when

you stop using oral corticosteroids.

Avoid exposure to infections such as chicken pox or measles. Tell your

health care professional immediately if you are exposed.

In clinical studies, common side effects included nose and throat irritation,

headache, upper respiratory tract infection, sore throat, sinusitis, and

stomach discomfort.
