Description

Budecort 0.5 mg respules is a medication used to help manage asthma symptoms, such as wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness. It contains budesonide, which is a type of steroid that reduces swelling and irritation in the lungs. This medicine is used in adults to control asthma and can also help prevent asthma attacks in children aged 1 to 8 years.

You should use Budecort exactly as your doctor tells you. It is not intended for oral consumption or ingestion. Instead, it should be used with a device called a nebuliser. A nebuliser turns the medicine into a fine mist, allowing it to be easily inhaled into the lungs, where it works most effectively. This helps reduce inflammation and keeps asthma symptoms under control.

There are other medicines similar to Budecort that also contain budesonide, such as Budure 0.5 respule, Budate 0.5 transpule, Bunase 0.5 respule and Derinide 0.5 respule. These work in the same way and may be prescribed based on availability or individual needs. Always follow your doctor’s advice when switching or starting any new inhaled medicine.

If you have ever had an allergic reaction to budesonide or any of its ingredients, you should not use Budecort. It's important to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Additionally, please provide your complete medical history, particularly if you have a history of infections, tuberculosis, or any immune system disorders.

Make sure to inform your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins, or supplements you are taking, as some may interact with Budecort. Using the medicine regularly, even when you feel well, can help prevent asthma attacks and keep symptoms under control. If you have any questions or notice anything unusual while using Budecort, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
