BUDECORT 0.5MG RESPULES
₹133.25
BUDECORT 0.5MG RESPULES (each containing 0.5 mg of Budesonide) are an anti-inflammatory steroid medication used for the long-term management and prevention of asthma and COPD symptoms. They are administered via a nebulizer and do not provide immediate relief for an acute asthma attack.
Key Details
- Active Ingredient: Each 2 ml respule contains 0.5 mg of Budesonide, which is an inhaled corticosteroid.
- Mechanism of Action: Budesonide works by reducing inflammation and swelling in the airways, making breathing easier and helping to prevent asthma attacks.
- Administration: The contents of the respule are squeezed into a nebulizer to create a fine mist for inhalation through a face mask or mouthpiece.
- Manufacturer: Cipla Ltd..
- Prescription: This is a prescription drug and should be used under medical supervision.
Uses
- Management of Asthma: Used as maintenance therapy to control daily symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Helps manage symptoms such as breathlessness and chronic cough by reducing airway inflammation.
- Croup: Can be used to treat croup (an upper airway infection causing breathing difficulty) in infants and children aged 12 months to 8 years, typically in a hospital setting.
Common Side Effects
Rinsing your mouth with water or brushing your teeth after each use can help prevent some local side effects like oral thrush.
- Throat irritation and sore throat
- Coughing or hoarse voice
- Headache
- Increased risk of infection, such as oral thrush (a fungal infection in the mouth)
- Nausea and abdominal pain
Important Warnings and Precautions
- Acute Attacks: This medicine is a “preventer” and will not stop an asthma attack that has already started. A fast-acting “reliever” inhaler should be used for sudden breathing difficulties.
- Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have tuberculosis, any active infections in your mouth or lungs, liver disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or osteoporosis.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the potential benefits and risks must be weighed.
- Long-term Use: Long-term, high-dose use may cause serious side effects like weak bones (osteoporosis) or damage to the eyes (glaucoma or cataracts), requiring regular monitoring by a doctor.
- Do Not Stop Abruptly: Do not stop using Budecort 0.5mg Respules without consulting your doctor, as symptoms may return or worsen.
