Budamate 200 Transhaler

Budamate 200 Transhaler is an inhaler that contains two active medicines in one device. It is prescribed for people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). By reducing airway inflammation and relaxing the muscles around the breathing passages, it makes it easier to breathe and helps control long-term respiratory symptoms.

How it works
This inhaler combines budesonide, a corticosteroid that blocks chemical signals responsible for swelling in the lungs, and formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator that widens the airways. Together, they reduce chest tightness, wheezing, coughing, and breathing difficulties.

How to use it
Your doctor will decide how often you should use the inhaler. The medicine works best when used regularly, even if you are feeling well, since stopping suddenly can worsen symptoms. It is not suitable for quick relief of sudden breathing attacks — for that, you should use a rescue inhaler. Correct inhaler technique is very important for full effectiveness.

Benefits
For patients with COPD, Budamate helps to keep the airways open and improves lung function, making daily activities easier. In asthma, it helps prevent flare-ups and maintains long-term control of symptoms. With regular use, it lowers the risk of severe attacks and hospital visits, supporting a better quality of life.

Possible side effects
Some people may experience headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, cough, throat irritation, or fungal infections in the mouth. Other reported effects include tremors, palpitations, changes in voice, back pain, or flu-like symptoms. Rinsing your mouth with water after each use can help reduce the risk of oral infections and throat irritation. Most side effects are mild and tend to improve with continued use, but speak to your doctor if they become troublesome.

Precautions
Before starting treatment, let your doctor know if you have liver or kidney conditions. It can generally be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding if prescribed, as available data suggest it does not cause significant harm to the baby. Avoid alcohol since it may worsen side effects.

Missed dose
If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your routine. Do not take extra doses to make up for the missed inhalation.
