Budetide contains Budesonide, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of chemical mediators in the lungs. This decreases swelling in the airways, allowing easier breathing.
Budetide is an inhaled corticosteroid used as a preventive (controller) therapy for asthma. It helps reduce airway inflammation and prevents symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath.
It does not provide immediate relief during an asthma attack, so a fast-acting reliever inhaler should always be available.
