Budesonide/formoterol is a combination formulation containing budesonide and formoterol used in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the EU. Budesonide acts by reducing and preventing respiratory tract inflammation while formoterol dilates the respiratory tract. Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid and thus functions as an anti-inflammatory agent. Formoterol works as a long acting beta 2 agonist resulting in bronchodilation.
