Budecort 1mg Respules 2ml

Budecort 1mg Respules is a nebulized suspension containing Budesonide, a highly effective corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation in the airways. This product is specifically formulated for inhalation therapy in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The respules facilitate the delivery of medication directly to the lungs, providing rapid relief from respiratory symptoms and enhancing overall lung function.

Indications:

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

Dosage and Administration:

• The typical dosage for adults is 1mg nebulized once or twice daily, as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
• For children, the dosage will be determined by the physician based on age, weight, and clinical response.
• Budecort Respules should be used with a nebulizer, and the solution should not be mixed with other medications unless directed 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 potential 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, especially those that inhibit CYP3A4, potentially increasing 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 1mg Respules are available in sealed plastic vials, each containing 2ml of the nebulized solution. Each pack typically contains multiple respules for a complete treatment regimen.
