Maintenance (preventive) treatment of asthma; control of airway inflammation and prevention of wheeze/shortness of breath. Also used as controller therapy in chronic respiratory inflammatory conditions as prescribed.
How It Works
Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, swelling and mucus production in the airways. This helps decrease airway hyper-responsiveness and prevents asthma symptoms and exacerbations when used regularly.
Directions for Use
For inhalation use only. Use exactly as prescribed; typically used regularly (once or twice daily) for maintenance, not for sudden attacks. Rinse mouth/gargle with water after each use to reduce risk of oral thrush. If using a bronchodilator inhaler as well, generally take the bronchodilator first and budesonide after a few minutes; use a spacer if advised.
Not for immediate relief of acute asthma attack—keep a rescue inhaler (e.g., salbutamol) available. Use with caution in untreated infections (TB, fungal/viral/bacterial), glaucoma/cataract, osteoporosis, liver disease, and in children (may affect growth with long-term use). Do not stop abruptly without medical advice. Seek care if breathing worsens after use (paradoxical bronchospasm) or if frequent rescue inhaler use is needed.
