Answering one of questions- Symbicort (has steroid) is not the same as albuterol (bronchodilator). Often both are used, though as Sue mentioned, the steroids are used with great caution with Mac or other infections.

Could you please explain to me exactly why Symbicort or other steroids are used with great caution with MAC?

My team of doctors state that oral steroids are what is used cautiously. The inhaled one's are safe.
