Budesal 1 mg Respules is a combination of two active ingredients: Levosalbutamol (a bronchodilator) and Budesonide (a corticosteroid). This formulation is used via nebulization to treat and manage symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by opening up the airways and reducing inflammation, thereby easing breathing difficulties such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.

• Dual-action formula: relieves airway constriction and reduces inflammation

• Provides quick and sustained symptom relief in asthma and COPD

• Ideal for patients who require nebulized respiratory therapy

• Helps prevent asthma attacks and reduces the frequency of flare-ups

• Improves overall lung function with regular use

• Use a nebulizer to inhale the medication as directed by your physician.

• Twist open the respule and pour the liquid into the nebulizer chamber.

• Breathe in the mist deeply and slowly through the mouthpiece or mask until the solution is fully inhaled.

• Rinse your mouth with water afterward to minimize the risk of oral infections.

• Do not swallow or inject the solution.

• Typical dose: One respule (2.5 ml) once or twice daily or as prescribed.

• Dosage may vary depending on the severity of symptoms and age of the patient.

• Do not exceed the recommended dose or change the frequency without medical advice.

• Not intended for use in children without pediatric consultation.

• Use only under medical supervision.

• Inform your doctor if you have heart conditions, high blood pressure, infections, or tuberculosis.

• Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly if accidental exposure occurs.

• Do not use if allergic to Budesonide, Levosalbutamol, or other components.

• Seek medical attention for serious side effects such as chest pain, allergic reactions, or breathing difficulties.
