Budesonide and Formoterol have different mode of action and show additive effects in terms of reduction of asthma exacerbations. The specific properties of Budesonide and Formoterol allow the combination to be used both as maintenance and reliever therapy, and as maintenance treatment for asthma. Budesonide is a glucocorticosteroid which when inhaled has a rapid (within hours) and dose dependent anti-inflammatory action in the airways, resulting in reduced symptoms and fewer asthma exacerbations. Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate is a long acting β2-adrenoreceptor agonist having rapid onset of action.
