How long does it take for Symbicort to reduce the swelling in my Bronchial tubes?
The RT didnt answer the question…. This medicine does reduce swelling (inflammation). It is a corticosteroid and a long acting b2 agonist. Budesonide and formosterol I think. While a long acting B2 agonists are for maintance and NOT rescue. You might find that the formoterol will open you up pretty quick…. The steroids since they are inhaled will work rather quickly, I’m not sure on exact time and that might differ between people and how bad their asthma is but I would say within a day the swelling reduces, and you will open up with the b2 agonist rather quickly, probably 20 minutes, but not as quickly as a rescue.
