A member asked:
Is it possible to lose weight while on a symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) inhaler if i restrict food and increase exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) is an inhaled steroid as opposed to a systemic steroid. As such, its effects should be limited to the lungs, and not adversely affect your weight loss goals like a systemic steroid would.
