View company portfolio →What Venticort (Budesonide + formoterol) is used for
Budesonide with formoterol is a combination inhaler for the lungs that holds two medicines. Budesonide is a steroid (corticosteroid) that calms swelling and irritation inside the airways. Formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator (a long-acting beta agonist) that relaxes the muscles around the airways so they stay open for longer. Together they help control breathing problems, but they do not cure asthma or COPD. It is a prescription medicine and comes in several types of inhaler device. WHO lists it as an essential medicine for asthma.
- Asthma: to prevent and control symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and breathlessness
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults, sometimes together with other inhalers that open the airways
- In some asthma plans, as both the regular preventer and the reliever for sudden symptoms. This is called maintenance and reliever therapy (MART). Only some products and plans work this way, so follow your own asthma plan.
- It is used mainly by adults and teenagers. Some products are only for adults; check the leaflet for your inhaler.
Get medical help straight away if
- If you suddenly wheeze or become more breathless straight after using the inhaler, use your reliever inhaler at once and get medical help. Do not use this inhaler again unless a doctor tells you to.
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for signs of a severe allergic reaction: swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue or throat, trouble breathing or swallowing, hives with breathing problems, or sudden faintness.
- Get urgent medical help for chest pain, fainting, or a very fast, pounding or uneven heartbeat.
- Contact a doctor straight away for signs of a chest infection: fever or chills, more phlegm or a change in its colour, or a worse cough or breathing.
