What the FDA labels say
From the Budesonide and formoterol (Budesonide and Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate) label · effective 2026-04-24
…intubation (endotracheal) 1 2 Asthma-related hospitalization (≥24-hour stay) 115 105 ICS = Inhaled Corticosteroid, LABA = Long-acting Beta2-adrenergic Agonist The pediatric safety trial included 6208 pediatric patients 4 to 11 years of age who received ICS/LABA (fluticasone propionate /salmeterol inhalation powder) or ICS (fluticasone propionate inhalation powder).
In this situation, the patient requires immediate re-evaluation with reassessment of the treatment regimen, giving special consideration to the possible need for replacing the current strength of budesonide and formoterol fumarate dihydrate with a higher strength, adding additional inhaled corticosteroid, or initiating systemic corticosteroids.
In clinical studies, concurrent administration of budesonide and formoterol fumarate dihydrate and other drugs, such as short-acting beta 2 -agonists, intranasal corticosteroids, and antihistamines/decongestants has not resulted in an increased frequency of adverse reactions.
…adolescent patients aged ≥12 years: one trial compared budesonide/formoterol (budesonide and formoterol fumarate dihydrate) to budesonide [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] ; one trial compared fluticasone propionate/salmeterol inhalation powder to fluticasone propionate inhalation powder; and one trial compared mometasone furoate/formoterol to mometasone furoate.
