How Budate 200 Inhaler works

Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the airways. This decreases airway hyper‑responsiveness and helps prevent wheezing, breathlessness and asthma attacks with regular use.

How to take Budate 200 Inhaler

For inhalation use only. Use exactly as prescribed; typically used regularly (once or twice daily) as a maintenance inhaler, not for immediate relief of acute attack. Shake inhaler well, exhale fully, inhale deeply while pressing the canister, hold breath ~10 seconds, then exhale. Rinse mouth/gargle with water after each use to reduce oral thrush. Use a spacer if advised.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Budate as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

Taking more Budate than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.

Safety advice for Budate 200 Inhaler

Warnings and precautions

Not for sudden breathing problems/status asthmaticus—use a rescue bronchodilator as prescribed. Rinse mouth after use to prevent oral fungal infection. Use with caution in active/latent tuberculosis, untreated systemic infections, and in patients with glaucoma/cataract risk. Long-term/high-dose use may cause adrenal suppression, reduced bone mineral density, growth suppression in children, or increased risk of pneumonia in COPD—use the lowest effective dose and monitor if on prolonged therapy. Do not stop abruptly without medical advice.

Interactions with other medicines

Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase systemic budesonide levels (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, ritonavir/cobicistat, clarithromycin). Other corticosteroids/immunosuppressants may increase risk of systemic steroid effects and infections. Live vaccines: use with caution in immunosuppressed patients.
