How Budate 200 Trans works

Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the airways. It decreases inflammatory mediator release and airway hyper-responsiveness, helping prevent wheezing and breathlessness. It is not meant for immediate relief of an acute asthma attack.

How to take Budate 200 Trans

For inhalation use only. Use exactly as prescribed; typically taken regularly (once or twice daily). Shake inhaler well before use, exhale fully, seal lips around mouthpiece, press canister and inhale deeply, then hold breath ~10 seconds. Rinse mouth/gargle with water after each use to reduce oral thrush; use with a spacer if advised. Not for sudden asthma symptoms—use a reliever inhaler for acute attacks.

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