A member asked:
I take proair and i recently went to the doctor and she gave me symbicort (budesonide and formoterol)...now when i cough, clear slimy mucus comes up is that normal?

Not due to symbicort (budesonide and formoterol): Symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) is a controller inhalor to help long term control of your asthma.proair is still needed for acute episodes.the use of symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) has nothing to do with the mucous.Symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) is an excellent inhalor--keep using it.The mucous is probably because of your allergies right now.
