WHAT BUDESONIDE/FORMOTEROL TEVA PHARMA B.V. IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Budesonide/Formoterol Teva Pharma B.V. contains two different active
substances: budesonide and
formoterol fumarate dihydrate.
•
Budesonide belongs to a group of medicines called
‘corticosteroids’ also known as ‘steroids’. It
works by reducing and preventing swelling and inflammation in your
lungs and helps you to
breathe more easily.
•
Formoterol fumarate dihydrate belongs to a group of medicines called
‘long-acting β
2
adrenoceptor agonists’ or ‘bronchodilators’. It works by
relaxing the muscles in your airways.
This will help to open the airways and help you to breathe more
easily.
BUDESONIDE/FORMOTEROL TEVA PHARMA B.V. IS INDICATED FOR USE IN ADULTS
18 YEARS OF AGE AND
OLDER ONLY.
BUDESONIDE/FORMOTEROL TEVA PHARMA B.V. IS NOT INDICATED FOR USE IN
