Budecort Inhaler 200mcg (200 Doses) – Budesonide for Asthma & COPD Maintenance
Budecort Inhaler 200mcg is a stronger dose formulation of Budesonide, used in patients with moderate to severe asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Each inhaler contains 200 metered doses, with each dose delivering 200 micrograms of Budesonide directly to the lungs.
It helps control inflammation, swelling, and irritation in the airways, making breathing easier and preventing frequent asthma flare-ups. This medication is not for emergency relief but is intended for regular use to prevent symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and breathlessness.
Budecort 200mcg is particularly helpful in patients who require higher corticosteroid doses for effective control of symptoms. It may be prescribed alone or in combination with bronchodilators.
