Symbicort (budesonide / formoterol) "Having COPD I have had to rely on my rescue inhalers daily sometimes I go through three inhalers a month. I had an opportunity to try some Accord and I was amazed. Not once did I need my rescue inhaler. Unfortunately I unable to stay on it due to a lack of health insurance and the $400 needed to purchase it; however, my state recently expanded medicaid and to my surprise, Medicaid paid for it!"

Symbicort (budesonide / formoterol) "Finally went to dr because I could not stand the ridiculous almost non stop coughing. Dr said I’ve got COPD and put me on 2 puffs 2x a day, and now I hardly ever cough anymore. I haven’t had any recognized side effects, and have zero complaints."

"Really hadn’t noticed that the VA was now sending a generic to Symbicort. Have not had any issues with this generic (Budesonide and Formoterol). Now apparently VA has stopped sending this generic and now are sending Wixela which has sorry reviews."
