What is Budecort Respules?

Budecort 1mg Respules is a steroid (preventer inhaler) used to control and prevent asthma symptoms (wheezing, shortness of breath). It does not treat sudden asthma attacks—always keep a fast-acting “reliever” inhaler handy.

How Does It Work?

• Reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways by blocking chemicals that cause it.

• Makes breathing easier over time.

Key Benefits

✔ Prevents asthma symptoms when used regularly.
✔ Long-term control, reducing the frequency of attacks.

How to Use

• Dose & Duration: Follow your doctor’s instructions.

• Method: Twist open the respule, squeeze the liquid into a nebulizer, and inhale.

• Use immediately after opening.

• Rinse mouth/throat after use to prevent side effects like throat irritation.

Important Notes

• Not for sudden attacks (use a reliever inhaler instead).

• Takes time to work (full effect seen after a few weeks).

• Do NOT stop even if symptoms improve—this means it’s working!

Possible Side Effects

• Common: Throat irritation, headache, difficulty swallowing, muscle pain, infection risk.

• Rare but serious: Bone weakness (osteoporosis), eye problems (glaucoma/cataracts).

• Prevent throat issues: Rinse mouth/brush teeth after use.

Safety & Warnings

• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor (may not be safe).

• Infections: Avoid sick people (steroids can increase infection risk).

• Long-term use: May need bone density & eye pressure tests.

• Alcohol: Safety unknown—ask your doctor.

If You Miss a Dose

• Take it as soon as you remember.

• If close to the next dose, skip it—never double dose!

• Keep your reliever inhaler accessible at all times.

Always follow your doctor’s advice for best asthma control!
