A member asked:
I have to switch from symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) to dulera because my insurance does not cover symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) now. are there any issues i should be aware of with the switch?

Nothing: They both work the same way, so unless you have had a reaction to the steroid (Mometasone) in Dulera, (formoterol and mometasone) I wouldn't be concerned.
