How much Symbicort can I take?

Question

Hello, I have asthmatic bronchitis. I take symbicort 2 times a day (2 inhalations each time). I would like to increase my dosage because I still cough a lot. And especially the hours before I take it. If I took 2 at 9am...am I calculating correctly...I would add 2 at 5pm and then 2 at 1am. Morning. Thanks ✨ Thank you, she said I could go up but very quickly. I wanted to make sure. Thank you for your service

Good morning, ma'am, Symbicort can also be used as a rescue pump according to the SMART protocol. The dose can be increased to a maximum of 2 inhalations 4 times a day. I invite you to discuss this with your pharmacist to verify that this is consistent with your chart information, including other inhalers, if applicable. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, Pharmacist It was my pleasure! I wish you a speedy recovery!
