Budesonide Nebuliser suspension BP (0.5mg/2ml)

Budesonide Nebuliser Suspension is employed to treat asthma and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) symptoms. Asthma is a long-term (chronic) respiratory disease where airways become narrower, swollen, and secrete additional mucus, which results in breathlessness. COPD is a set of lung conditions that obstruct airflow from the lungs.

Budesonide Nebuliser Suspension consists of ‘Budesonide’. It inhibits the formation of some chemical messengers that mediate allergic and non-allergic-mediated inflammation. In this way, Budesonide Nebuliser Suspension treats inflammatory diseases. Budesonide Nebuliser Suspension reduces inflammation and irritation in the airways and facilitates easier breathing. Hence, it relieves the symptoms of asthma and COPD.

Benefits:

Budesonide Nebuliser Suspension relieves breathing by lessening swelling and inflammation in the air passages. It treats several respiratory illnesses, such as allergic rhinitis (a condition of itchy, runny eyes and sneezing), COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, a disease that obstructs airflow and leads to trouble in breathing), tightness in the chest, wheezing, and coughs due to asthma.

Uses:

• Budesonide Nebuliser Suspension is usually employed as a maintenance therapy in patients with asthma in order to cut down on inflammation within the airways and facilitate breathing.
• Budesonide Nebuliser Suspension may be utilized to manage the symptoms and enhance lung function in patients who are suffering from COPD, relieving wheezing and breathlessness.
• Budesonide Nebuliser Suspension can be employed to produce rapid relief from inflammation in instances of acute exacerbations of chronic respiratory disorders.
• Following some airway surgical procedures, Budesonide Nebuliser Suspension can be employed to reduce swelling and provide a patent airway for convalescence.
