Budecort 0.5mg Respules (2ml Each) is a corticosteroid used as a maintenance therapy to help prevent asthma symptoms like wheezing and breathlessness. It acts as a “controller” medication, helping reduce inflammation in the airways over time.

Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage and frequency based on your condition. It’s essential to take the lowest effective dose regularly—even if symptoms improve or disappear—to keep asthma under control. Results may become noticeable within a few days, but the full benefits are typically seen after several weeks of consistent use. Never discontinue use without medical advice, as stopping suddenly may lead to worsening of symptoms.

Common side effects can include throat irritation, swallowing difficulties, headaches, or indigestion. These are generally mild, and rinsing your mouth or brushing your teeth after inhalation can help reduce their occurrence. Always consult your doctor if any side effect persists or causes concern.

Before starting Budecort 0.5mg Respules, inform your doctor if you have a history of tuberculosis, mouth or lung infections, or liver problems. This medication may slightly increase your risk of infections, so it’s best to avoid close contact with people who are sick. Long-term use may lead to bone thinning (osteoporosis) or eye conditions such as glaucoma or cataracts.

Consult your doctor before using this medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding to ensure it is safe for you.
