Combination Inhalers

your reliever

• The Pharmacy and Clinical Pharmacology Department at Christchurch Hospital has developed handy information sheets to explain how each medicine works, what to do about a missed dose, and possible side effects.
• 
• Seretide (Fluticasone/Salmeterol)
•  
• Symbicort (Budesonide/Eformoterol)

the two in one approach

Combination inhalers contain both preventer and symptom controller medicine in one device. They should be taken regularly as prescribed.

Symptom controllers should not be used for immediate or emergency relief, a reliever should still be used in these circumstances.

Examples of combination inhalers are Seretide and Symbicort.
