Budesonide Suspension 1mg Nebuliser

Quick info

Budesonide Suspension 1mg Nebuliser is used to prevent the symptoms of asthma (wheezing and shortness of breath). It is a steroid and is known as a 'preventer'. You need to have a fast-acting 'reliever' as well because this medicine will not stop an asthma attack that has already started. Your doctor will tell you how often you need to use Budesonide Suspension 1mg Nebuliser. It is important that you take the lowest dose needed to effectively control your asthma. The effect of this medicine may be noticeable after a few days but will only reach its maximum after a few weeks. This medicine must be used regularly to be effective so go on taking it even if you do not have any symptoms. No symptoms mean that the medicine is doing its job. If you stop taking it your asthma may get worse. It should not be used to relieve sudden asthma attacks. If an asthma attack occurs use your quick-relief inhaler 'reliever'. To get the benefit from this medicine you need to make sure you get your inhaler technique right otherwise it will not work as well.

How it works

Budesonide Suspension 1mg Nebuliser is a steroid. It prevents the cells in the lungs and breathing passages from releasing chemical messengers that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways. This makes breathing easier.

Direction of use

Check the label for directions before use. Place the medicine in the medicine cup and connect it to the compressor via tube. Attach the mouthpiece/mask and place it on mouth. Make sure there is no gap. Slowly breathe in and out. Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor.
