If you decide to use the Symbicort.... follow dosage directions carefully. This only works if you use it every day as directed. It will take a few days or a week for the steroid to really kick in.
It is not advised to use your rescue inhaler (albuterol) while on Symbicort. Combining the two bronchodilators can be dangerous and is not advised. This inhaler is designed to prevent episodes, and not treat acute events. So you need to take it whether you feel shortness of breath or not.
