How Budicort 0.5 Nebuliser Suspension works

Quick Tips
  • Budicort 0.5 Nebuliser Suspension ‘dampens down’ inflammation in the lungs to provide long-term (maintenance) treatment of asthma and prevent disease progression.
  • Budicort 0.5 Nebuliser Suspension will not work for an ongoing asthma attack. Use your rescue inhaler to control sudden difficulty in breathing.
  • Take it at the same time every day to prevent asthma attacks.
  • Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat.
  • Never breathe out into the mouthpiece.
  • Only minuscule amounts of Budicort 0.5 Nebuliser Suspension may get absorbed into the bloodstream after inhalation. Hence, serious side effects such or weight gain are unlikely.
