• Close the inhaler by twisting the mouthpiece until it clicks, piercing the capsule.
• Exhale fully, then place the mouthpiece in your mouth and inhale slowly and deeply, making sure you hear the capsule vibrate.
• Hold your breath for about 5 to 10 seconds, or as long as comfortable, then breathe out slowly.
• Repeat this process once or twice to ensure complete inhalation of the capsule contents.
• Dispose of the used capsule responsibly.
• Always consult your doctor for specific advice on using this medicine.

Budetrol 400 Capsule is taken orally through an inhaler.

Budetrol 400 Capsule comprises two active ingredients:

• Formoterol Fumarate (6 mcg): This ingredient is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist, also known as LABA. It functions as a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles of your airways and reduces constriction. Formoterol does this by stimulating an enzyme called adenyl cyclase to increase cyclic AMP levels inside cells. This process prevents the release of substances that can cause hypersensitivity reactions in cells, especially mast cells.
• Budesonide (400 mcg): As an inhaled corticosteroid, budesonide chiefly acts within your lungs to exert powerful anti-inflammatory effects. It inhibits certain cells and substances that contribute to airway inflammation, thereby reducing swelling and irritation in the airways.

Together, these ingredients provide comprehensive management of asthma and COPD symptoms by combining anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator effects.

• Store Budetrol 400 Capsule in a cool and dry place, shielded from light and moisture.
• Maintain an optimal storage temperature not exceeding 30°C.
• Keep the container of the medicine tightly closed.
• Keep the medication out of reach of children.
• Use the capsules within 60 days of opening the blister strip and always before the expiry date.

• If you're using Budetrol 400 Capsule to manage asthma, ensure you avoid allergens like dust, pollen or certain foods that may trigger an asthma attack.
• For those with COPD, strive to quit smoking as it can worsen your condition and decrease the effectiveness of your medication.
