WHAT BUDESONIDE/FORMOTEROL TEVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Budesonide/Formoterol Teva 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 IS INDICATED FOR USE IN ADULTS 18 YEARS OF
AGE AND OLDER ONLY.
BUDESONIDE/FORMOTEROL TEVA IS NOT INDICATED FOR USE IN CHILDREN 12
YEARS OF AGE AND YOUNGER OR
