BUDETROL 200 Inhalation: Dual-Action Maintenance Therapy for Asthma and COPD
Description:
BUDETROL 200 Inhalation is a combination medication used to manage moderate to severe asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It combines two active components:
-
Budesonide (200 mcg) – a corticosteroid that reduces airway inflammation.
-
Formoterol fumarate (6 mcg) – a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the airway muscles and enhances airflow.
This combination helps prevent symptoms like wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. It is a preventive treatment, not meant for immediate relief during an asthma attack.
How to Use:
BUDETROL 200 is generally available in capsule form for inhalation and must be used with a Rotahaler or similar dry powder inhaler device.
Instructions:
-
Insert one capsule into the inhaler chamber.
-
Twist the device to pierce the capsule.
-
Exhale completely away from the device.
-
Place the mouthpiece in your mouth and inhale deeply and forcefully.
-
Hold your breath for a few seconds, then exhale slowly.
-
Discard the empty capsule.
-
Rinse your mouth with water to avoid oral thrush.
Use the medicine exactly as prescribed, typically twice daily.
