Budelizer 400 Mcg 60 Cap

Budelizer 400 Mcg 60 Cap

Description:

Budelizer 400 mcg 60 inhalation capsules with inhaler device is a prescription corticosteroid medicine used for the long‑term control and prevention of asthma symptoms. Each capsule contains budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways, helps prevent asthma attacks, and improves breathing when used regularly. It is not a rescue medicine for sudden asthma attacks and must be used exactly as directed by a healthcare professional.

Indications:

• Maintenance treatment of bronchial asthma and chronic asthma in adults and adolescents as prescribed by a physician.
• Prevention of asthma symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and night‑time coughing.
• Helps reduce airway inflammation and hyper‑reactivity in patients requiring regular inhaled corticosteroid therapy.
• May be used as part of a long‑term asthma management plan, often in combination with bronchodilators, according to medical advice.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Budesonide – 400 mcg per inhalation capsule (inhaled corticosteroid).
• Other inactive ingredients: Full excipient list is not available in the provided information; please refer to the official package leaflet for complete details.
• Includes an inhaler device designed for use with the Budelizer inhalation capsules to deliver the medication directly to the lungs.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as prescribed by your doctor. Do not change the dose or frequency without medical advice.
• Typical adult dosing for inhaled budesonide is once or twice daily; the exact dose, number of capsules per dose, and duration of treatment depend on the severity of asthma and individual response, as determined by the physician.
• Capsules are for inhalation only and must not be swallowed.
• How to use the inhaler device (general guidance – always follow the specific device instructions supplied in the pack):
  • 1. Open the inhaler device as instructed in the patient leaflet.
  • 2. Remove one Budelizer 400 mcg capsule from the blister just before use.
  • 3. Place the capsule in the capsule chamber of the inhaler device.
  • 4. Close the device according to the instructions to pierce the capsule (usually by pressing the buttons on the sides, if present).
  • 5. Exhale fully away from the device, then place the mouthpiece between your lips, forming a tight seal.
  • 6. Inhale deeply and forcefully through the mouth to draw the medication into your lungs.
  • 7. Remove the inhaler from your mouth and hold your breath for about 5–10 seconds or as long as comfortable, then exhale slowly.
  • 8. Check the capsule; if powder remains, repeat the inhalation once more.
  • 9. Discard the empty capsule; do not reuse capsules.
• Use at the same time each day for best control of asthma symptoms.
• Rinse your mouth with water after each dose and spit out the water to help reduce the risk of oral thrush and hoarseness.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• This medicine is not suitable for the relief of acute asthma attacks; always keep a fast‑acting bronchodilator (reliever inhaler) available as prescribed.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides potent anti‑inflammatory action in the airways, helping to control chronic asthma and reduce airway swelling.
• Helps prevent asthma attacks and reduces the frequency and severity of asthma symptoms when used regularly.
• Improves lung function and breathing comfort, supporting better exercise tolerance and daily activity.
• Reduces the need for oral corticosteroids and rescue bronchodilators in many patients as part of a comprehensive asthma management plan.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• For inhalation use only. Do not swallow the capsules.
• Do not use Budelizer 400 mcg to treat sudden severe asthma attacks; use your prescribed rapid‑acting bronchodilator instead and seek urgent medical help if symptoms do not improve.
• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to budesonide or any component of the formulation.
• Use with caution in patients with active or latent pulmonary tuberculosis, untreated fungal, bacterial, or viral infections of the respiratory tract, or systemic infections.
• Long‑term high‑dose inhaled corticosteroid use may increase the risk of systemic effects such as adrenal suppression, decreased bone mineral density, cataract, or glaucoma; regular medical monitoring is recommended.
• May worsen or mask signs of infection; inform your doctor if you develop fever, sore throat, persistent cough, or other signs of infection.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, osteoporosis, glaucoma, cataracts, or a history of steroid‑related side effects.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: use only if clearly needed and prescribed by a physician after assessing the benefit‑risk balance.
• Do not abruptly stop treatment without medical advice; dose reduction should be gradual under supervision.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking other medications (including other corticosteroids or bronchodilators), or have medical conditions such as liver disease, osteoporosis, eye problems, or immune suppression.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include headache, nausea, mild throat irritation, cough after inhalation, and respiratory infections such as colds or bronchitis.
• Local steroid effects may include hoarseness, voice changes, and oral or throat fungal infection (oral thrush); rinsing the mouth after use helps reduce this risk.
• Less common side effects can include mood changes such as depression, nervousness, or irritability, and rarely systemic corticosteroid effects with prolonged high‑dose use.
• Seek medical attention immediately if you experience signs of severe allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling of face or throat, severe dizziness, difficulty breathing) or worsening breathing problems after inhalation (paradoxical bronchospasm).
