Budecort 100 Inhaler

Product Overview

Budecort 100 Inhaler is a corticosteroid used to help manage and prevent symptoms associated with asthma, such as wheezing and shortness of breath. It works as a “preventer” by reducing inflammation in the lungs and airways, improving airflow, and making breathing easier. It is important to note that this medication does not provide immediate relief during an asthma attack. Therefore, a fast-acting “reliever” inhaler should also be available for emergency use.

Your doctor will recommend how often and how much of this medication you should use. It’s best to use the lowest dose required to control asthma symptoms effectively. While some benefits may appear after a few days, full results may take a few weeks. Regular use is essential—even when you are not experiencing symptoms—as this helps keep asthma under control. Stopping treatment abruptly may worsen your condition. Proper inhaler technique is necessary for the medication to work effectively; consult your healthcare provider if you are unsure how to use it.

Benefits of Budecort Inhaler

Asthma is a chronic condition that leads to inflammation in the airways, causing recurring breathing difficulties such as chest tightness, coughing, and wheezing. Budecort 100 Inhaler works by decreasing inflammation, helping to prevent flare-ups and improve lung function. When used regularly, it supports daily activity, reduces symptoms, and lowers the need for rescue medication during asthma episodes.
