CompositionBudecort 100 Inhaler is used for the long-term prevention and control of asthma in adults and children. It reduces inflammation in the airways and helps prevent breathing symptoms.
It contains budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid. Use it regularly as prescribed, even when you feel well. It is a preventer and is not for immediate relief during a sudden asthma attack. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after each use to reduce the risk of mouth infections.
Using the correct inhaler technique is important for this medicine to work well. Your doctor or pharmacist can check your technique. Quitting smoking and keeping up with recommended vaccinations also help protect your lungs.
Before using this medicine, tell your doctor about any active infections, a history of tuberculosis, or if you are taking other steroids. Tell your doctor if your usual reliever inhaler is needed more often or works less well. Speak to your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
