Why was the Symbicort prescribed? Was that specific to Pseudo?? When you do try the Volara, would love to hear what you think. Thanks!

Symbicort is prescribed to keep down inflammation in the lungs. It is for long term use.
I will let you know how the Volara works. I think it will be like a combination of nebulized saline with the Ombra and using the Aerobika, all in one 10 minute treatment.

Symbicort or its generic equivalent is the long-term treatment of choice for chronic asthma and many types of COPD. It has a long-acting beta agonist plus a low dose corticosteroid (LABA/ICS.) It is thought to be better at keeping inflammation down and airways open than a short-acting beta agonist (SABA) like albuterol or levalbutrol.
