Budecort 100 Inhaler

BUDEcort 100 Inhaler is used to prevent and control symptoms of asthma such as wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. It contains budesonide, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the airways, making breathing easier. This medicine is known as a preventer inhaler and is not meant for immediate relief during an ongoing asthma attack. A fast-acting “reliever” inhaler should be used for sudden symptoms.

Your doctor will determine how often and how much of BUDEcort 100 Inhaler you should use. It is important to use the lowest effective dose to maintain asthma control. While some improvement may be noticed within a few days, the full benefit is usually achieved after a few weeks of regular use. Even if you feel well and have no symptoms, continue using the inhaler as prescribed, as stopping it may worsen asthma control.

Correct inhaler technique is essential to ensure the medicine reaches the lungs effectively. After each use, rinsing your mouth and throat with water or brushing your teeth helps reduce the risk of throat irritation and other side effects.
