Budesonide/salmeterol (B/S), sold under the brand name Labazenit, is a combination medication used in the long-term treatment of asthma. It main be used when an inhaled steroid alone is insufficient. It is used by breathing the medication into the lungs.

Side effects may include throat inflammation, headache, voice changes, and worsened asthma. Serious side effects are uncommon. It contains budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and salmeterol, a long-acting beta agonist (LABA).

It was denied approval in Europe in 2013. It had not been approved for medical use in any country as of 2015. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines as an alternative to budesonide/formoterol.
