Budecort 0.5mg Respules 2ml

Budecort 0.5mg Respules is a nebulized suspension containing Budesonide, a potent corticosteroid that effectively reduces inflammation in the airways. This product is specifically designed for inhalation therapy in patients suffering from asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The respules deliver medication directly to the lungs, providing rapid relief from respiratory symptoms and improving overall lung function.

Indications:

• Management of asthma in adults and children.
• Treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to help alleviate symptoms and prevent exacerbations.

Dosage and Administration:

• The recommended dosage for adults and children varies based on individual needs and severity of the condition. Typically, the dosage for adults is 0.5mg to 1mg nebulized once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare provider.
• For children, the dosage will be determined by the physician, based on age and clinical response.
• Budecort Respules are intended for use with a nebulizer, and the solution should not be mixed with other medications unless specified by a healthcare professional.

Contraindications:

• Known hypersensitivity to Budesonide or any of the excipients in the formulation.
• Not intended for the treatment of acute asthma attacks or exacerbations.

Precautions:

• Use with caution in patients with a history of tuberculosis, fungal infections, or other chronic infections due to the immunosuppressive effects of corticosteroids.
• Regular monitoring of lung function and overall health is essential during long-term therapy.

Side Effects:
Common side effects may include:

• Throat irritation
• Cough
• Hoarseness
• Oral candidiasis (thrush)

Serious side effects may include:

• Signs of hypersensitivity (e.g., rash, itching, swelling)
• Worsening of asthma or COPD symptoms
• Adrenal insufficiency (e.g., fatigue, dizziness, low blood pressure)

Drug Interactions:
Budesonide may interact with other medications, particularly those that are CYP3A4 inhibitors, which can increase the risk of systemic corticosteroid effects. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking.

Storage:

• Store the respules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Keep out of reach of children and do not freeze.

Packaging:
Budecort 0.5mg Respules are available in sealed plastic vials, each containing 2ml of the nebulized solution. Each pack may contain multiple respules for a complete treatment regimen.
