*Half-life: Budesonide: 2.3 hr, Formoterol: 10 hr.&lt;br /&gt;
*Metabolism: Budesonide: Liver, CYP450: 3A4 substreate. Formoterol: Liver extensively, CYP450: 2A6, 2C9/19, 2D6 substrate.&lt;br /&gt;
*Excretion: Budesonide: Urine 60%, feces. Formoterol: Urine 59-62% (10% unchanged), feces 32-24%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mechanism of Action==&lt;br /&gt;
*Budesonide: Inhibits multiple inflammatory cytokine sand produces multiple glucocorticoid and mineralcorticoid effects. Exact mechanism unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
*Formoterol: Selectively stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors, relaxing airway smooth muscle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Comments==&lt;br /&gt;
Black Box Warning: Long acting beta-2 adrenergic agonists (LABA) increase risk of asthma-related death. LABA use may increase risk of asthma-related hospitalization in pediatric and adolescent patients. Do not use corticosteroid/LABA combo if asthma adequately controlled on low-or medium-dose inhaled corticosteroids.&lt;br /&gt;
