Description:

Budesal Respules 1 mg is an inhaled corticosteroid containing Budesonide, designed to help manage asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Budesonide works by reducing inflammation in the airways, which helps control symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. The respule formulation allows for a nebulized form of delivery, which is ideal for patients who require a more direct, inhaled medication to treat respiratory conditions.

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Used in the management of COPD to help reduce symptoms and prevent flare-ups.

• Other Respiratory Inflammation: Reduces inflammation in the airways, improving lung function and quality of life in individuals with chronic respiratory conditions.
