How it works
Budesonide is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation in the airways. It blocks the release of certain chemical substances in the body that cause inflammation, swelling, and irritation in the lungs. By decreasing airway inflammation, it helps keep airways open, reduces mucus production, and makes breathing easier. Regular use helps prevent symptoms rather than providing immediate relief during an attack.

Alcohol: No known interaction, but moderation is advised. Kidney/Liver: Use with caution in severe liver disease; dose adjustment may be needed. Driving: Usually does not affect driving ability. Infections: Inform your doctor about any infections, as steroids may reduce immunity. Other medicines: Tell your doctor about all medications you take.
