BUDEcort 0.5mg Respules 1*5

Product Description – BUDECORT 0.5mg Respules (2ml Each)

Product Introduction
BUDECORT 0.5mg Respules (2ml Each) is an effective inhalation therapy used for the prevention and long-term management of asthma symptoms such as wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness. It contains Budesonide, a corticosteroid that works as a “preventer” to reduce airway inflammation and prevent asthma attacks. This medication should be used regularly for optimal results and is not intended for emergency relief during an active asthma attack. For quick relief, patients must keep a fast-acting “reliever” inhaler as advised by their physician.

Your doctor will guide you on the correct dosage and frequency. The improvement in breathing may be noticeable after a few days, but the full effect develops gradually with consistent use. Do not stop treatment abruptly, even if you feel well, as discontinuing may worsen your asthma symptoms. Proper inhalation technique is essential for effective delivery of the medication to the lungs.
