Primary Outcome Measures:

The primary objective is to show that Symbicort pMDI 40/2.25 μg two actuations b.i.d is more efficacious than Pulmicort Turbuhaler 100 μg one inhalation b.i.d. over a 6-week treatment period.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Secondary objectives are to compare the efficacy of Symbicort pMDI 40/2.25 μg two actuations b.i.d with that of Symbicort Turbuhaler 80/4.5 μg one inhalation b.i.d and to investigate the safety profile of Symbicort pMDI 40/2.25 μg two actuations b.i.d,
