Correct answer: B — Use the budesonide/formoterol inhaler as both maintenance and reliever as directed
In maintenance and reliever therapy, the ICS/formoterol inhaler is used for regular maintenance and symptom relief within the prescribed maximum dose. This approach is specific to suitable ICS/formoterol products and should be clearly explained to avoid duplicate reliever use. The patient should know when to seek help if reliever use rises.
