Is duoneb breathing trmt safe to use in asthma flares when i'm taking prednisone and symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) 160/4.5?

Drug interaction: the main drug interaction with these drugs is hypokalemia or decreased potassium. this occurs with taking prednisone and either other drug. There does not seem to be any interaction with Duoneb and Symbicort (budesonide and formoterol).

Stop Symbicort (budesonide and formoterol): If you are taking oral predinsone, no need for symbicort (budesonide and formoterol). The easy solution will be to take oral prednisone and albuterol nebulizer treatment . Symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) may be stopped for now till you are done with oral prednisone. If you are getting worst please seek immediate help in ED or urgent care
