Question: is qvar the same as symbicort?
Answer: Qvar (beclomethasone) is good for controlling and preventing asthma symptoms, but it's not a rescue inhaler and must be taken daily. Helps with long-term asthma and COPD symptoms. Symbicort (budesonide / formoterol) is a combination of two medicines that works well for people with worsening asthma or COPD.
