How Safe Is Symbicourt And Is It The Same Thing As Advair ?

How safe is symbacourt to take, taking nebulizer every 4 hours needed more help was given symbicourt I have asthma all my life, have used advair a few years ago, stopped because of loosing insurance. Lately having to use nebulizer every four or five hours, always feel tight. My doctor gave me three samples of symbicourt. I have seen the adds and now kind of wondering about symbicourt and advair, dad takes advair also and has for years. How safe is symbicourt and are is it the same thing as advair, also is there an alergic reaction to symbacourt. I am bi polar and my mind thinks of all kinds of crap when i see the warnings on symbicourt. What is the real opinion and how safe is it

You can take symbicort, however it being a steroid aggravates the heart pressure, although it reduces the wheezing in the body. 

I suggest you bring the cough down with a gentle steroid like asthalin and then try out symbicort, Duolin etc.

But health foods like garlic, apples, wheat, etc helps a lot in bringing the wheezing down. You can get the info from healandhealth, I too am an asthmatic and feel for you. But Foods, fruits helps a lot too as it has done for me.

Thanks

Hi.. Both advair and symbicourt are inhalational steroids.. These drugs are helpful in controlling the symptoms of asthma and help preventing the episodes.. Since they are inhalational drugs,  regular side effects of steroids are absent.. Hence you can safely use these drugs..
