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.
