Budesonide / formoterol "Finally went to the doctor because I could not stand the ridiculous, almost non-stop coughing. The doctor said I’ve got COPD and put me on 2 puffs, 2 times 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, the VA has stopped sending this generic and now is sending Wixela, which has sorry reviews."

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 was 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!"
