BUDATE 200 TRANSHALER is a corticosteroid that exhibits an anti-inflammatory action. It works by preventing the cells in the lungs and breathing passages from releasing chemical messengers that cause inflammation of the airways. This widens the airways and makes breathing easier.
Budesonide is a locally-acting glucocorticosteroid with an extensive, primarily hepatic, metabolism after oral administration. It is rapidly absorbed and biotransformed by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A to metabolites with negligible glucocorticoid activity.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
