Airsupra is a first-of-its-kind rescue inhaler that combines albuterol (a short-acting beta2-agonist or SABA) with budesonide (an inhaled corticosteroid or ICS) in a single device. It is FDA-approved for as-needed treatment or prevention of bronchoconstriction and reduction of the risk of exacerbations in adults aged 18 and older with asthma. Manufactured by AstraZeneca, Airsupra is the first rescue inhaler to include an anti-inflammatory component, providing both immediate symptom relief and inflammation control in one puff.
Metered-dose inhaler (MDI) — inhaler
90 mcg albuterol / 80 mcg budesonide per actuation, 120 inhalations per canister (10.7g)
