Budamate 400 Transhaler

Budamate 400 Transhaler combines two active medicines in one inhaler. It is prescribed to manage long-term breathing conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The medicine works by easing inflammation in the airways and relaxing the surrounding muscles, which makes breathing more comfortable and reduces frequent symptoms.

How it works
This inhaler contains budesonide, a corticosteroid that lowers airway swelling by blocking specific chemical signals, along with formoterol, a long-acting bronchodilator that helps widen the air passages. Their combined effect prevents tightness in the chest, wheezing, and shortness of breath, while also making day-to-day activities easier.

How to use
Your doctor will advise you on the correct dose and frequency. The inhaler should be used regularly, even on days when you feel well, as the maximum benefit is achieved only with consistent use. It is not designed for sudden breathing attacks — a rescue inhaler should be used in those situations. Using the right inhaler technique is very important for best results.

Benefits
For people with COPD, it helps keep airways open and improves lung function, supporting better breathing during daily routines. In asthma, it helps prevent flare-ups and ensures long-term control of symptoms. Regular use lowers the risk of serious respiratory complications and provides lasting relief.

Possible side effects
Some people may experience headache, nausea, vomiting, cough, throat irritation, stomach upset, or fungal infection in the mouth and throat. Other effects reported include voice changes, palpitations, tremors, sinus issues, back pain, and flu-like symptoms. Rinsing the mouth thoroughly after each use can reduce the chance of infections and throat discomfort. Most effects are mild, but consult your doctor if they persist.

Precautions
Before starting, inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver concerns so that the right dose can be chosen. It can usually be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding when prescribed, as research suggests it is safe in most cases. Avoid alcohol as it may worsen unwanted effects.

Missed dose guidance
If you forget to use your inhaler, take it as soon as you remember. If the next dose is already due, skip the missed one and continue with your usual routine. Do not take an extra dose to make up for the one you missed.
