Due to change of insurance I was just prescribed Arnuity Ellipta! I was wondering if there was a big difference and which one was better! I was always told from other people with asthma they don’t know why I was given symbicort in the first place for my asthma?
Symbiocort is a combination of a long acting beta agonist and an inhaled corticosteroid. Arnuity is just the steroid, with no bronchodilator. Arnuity may be specific for asthma, but Symbicort is a typical maintenance med prescribed for asthma and COPD both. At this point, most meds can be used for either.
It's crazy how one works for you and for me that anoro made me worse..go figure huh. I'm glad it helps you!!!
I used Symbicort a long time it was very effective my doctor took me off due to frequent pneumonia.
Thanks, you are a wealth of information.
