Budesonide and formoterol is a combination of two medications used to control asthma symptoms and improve lung function. It is used when other asthma medications have not sufficiently controlled a patient’s asthma, or when a patient’s condition is so severe that more than one medicine is required every day. This medication will not treat an asthma attack that has already begun.

This medication is also used to treat air flow obstruction and to slow the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are examples of this.
