My doctor has prescribed Symbicort 160/4.5 1 puff twice a day. When I get sick, I am to do 2 puffs twice a day as well as budesonide and levalbuterol nebulizers 2-4 times a day as needed. I asked about budesonide ingredient in the Symbicort plus using it as a nebulizer and was told it was fine-that I needed the extra steroid as I always end up with bronchitis. Am I crazy to think this is too much budesonide to be uses concurrently?
