Uses of Budecort Inhaler 200 mcg

Budecort Inhaler 200 mcg is a preventive and maintenance treatment for people with Asthma and COPD.

Asthma

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that narrows, inflames, and swells the airways and produces extra mucus. This results in shortness of breath and wheezing-like symptoms.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a group of lung diseases caused by damage to the airways or other parts of the lungs. It results in obstructed airflow from the lungs and makes it difficult to breathe.

How does Budesonide work?

Budesonide Inhalers prevent the production of certain genes that can induce inflammation in the airways and lead to breathing difficulty. It also blocks the release of substances that cause inflammation, swelling, mucus production, and irritation in the airways.

With less inflammation and swelling, the airways are less constricted, making it easier for air to flow in and out of the lungs. This results in improved breathing and reduced symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath. It works within 24-48 hours and gives lasting relief. It can give full results within 2-6 weeks of active use.

However, it is important to understand that Budesonide is not a Bronchodilator. Thus, it cannot provide rapid relief and is contraindicated in cases where intensive therapeutic measures are required.
