Trial on the Effect of Budesonide/Formoterol and Inhaled Budesonide Alone on Exercise-Induced Asthma

Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if Symbicort® (budesonide/formoterol), a new combination asthma medication, is more effective than budesonide alone in controlling exercise induced asthma. The investigators hypothesize that in children and adults who suffer from asthma and exercise induced asthma there will be less decline in lung function associated with exercise when they receive the study medication.
