Budecort Inhaler (Generic Budesonide Inhaler)
Uses of Budecort Inhaler
Budecort Inhaler (Generic Budesonide Inhaler) is used to help
prevent the symptoms (wheezing and shortness of breath)
caused by asthma. When used regularly every day, inhaled
Budesonide decreases the number and severity of asthma
attacks. However, it will not relieve an asthma attack that has
already started.
Budesonide is a corticosteroid or steroid (cortisone-like
medicine). It works directly in the lungs to make breathing easier
by preventing inflammation (swelling) in the lungs, which makes
the asthma attack less severe.

prescribed.

Budecort Inhaler During Pregnancy
Budesonide (Budecort inhaler) has been classified by the US FDA as
Pregnancy Category B.
The benefits of asthma control outweigh any potential for an
adverse pregnancy outcome. Observations from a large
prospective epidemiological study and from world-wide post
marketing experience show that inhaled Budesonide during
pregnancy has no significant adverse effects on the health of the
foetus or new born child.
Inhaled glucocorticosteroids must be considered in preference to
oral glucocorticosteroids because of the lower systemic effects at
the doses required to achieve similar pulmonary responses.
