Budesal Respules (Budesonide 1mg/Levalbuterol 1.25mg)
Price range: $37.00 through $107.00
Budesal Respules (Budesonide 1mg/Levalbuterol 1.25mg) are unit-dose nebuliser vials used for breathing treatments. Budesonide is an inhaled steroid that helps reduce airway swelling, while levalbuterol is a fast-acting bronchodilator that helps relax tight airways and reduce wheezing. Clinicians may include it in asthma or COPD care plans. Not for self-starting. Severe breathing trouble needs urgent care.

What are Budesal Respules (Budesonide 1mg/Levalbuterol 1.25mg)?
Budesal Respules (Budesonide 1mg/Levalbuterol 1.25mg) are nebuliser respules that combine two well-known types of respiratory medicines in one unit-dose vial. One part (budesonide) focuses on the inflammation side of breathing problems, and the other part (levalbuterol) focuses on the “tight airway” side. If you have ever dealt with wheezing that comes with swelling and spasm together, this combination helps explain why some clinicians choose a dual approach.
What this medicine is typically used for
Budesal Respules are generally prescribed for conditions where bronchospasm and airway inflammation play a role, such as asthma and, in some cases, COPD with a reactive component. People often describe these episodes as chest tightness, wheezing, coughing, or shortness of breath that can spike during colds, allergies, smoke exposure, weather changes, or other triggers.
This product is not meant to replace an emergency plan. If someone is working hard to breathe, turning blue, cannot speak full sentences, or is not responding to their usual rescue treatment, that is an emergency.
How the two ingredients work
- Budesonide (1mg) is an inhaled corticosteroid. It helps reduce airway irritation and swelling. It usually does not feel “instant,” because it is working on inflammation that takes time to settle.
- Levalbuterol (1.25mg) is a bronchodilator. It helps relax the muscles around the airways, allowing air to move more freely and easing wheezing more quickly.
Because both inflammation and muscle tightness can happen together, some treatment plans use both types of medicines. Your prescriber decides whether this combination makes sense based on symptoms, diagnosis, and response to therapy.
Using Budesal Respules with a nebuliser
Budesal Respules are designed to be inhaled as a mist through a nebuliser using a mouthpiece or a mask, as recommended by your clinician. Try to sit upright and breathe normally during the treatment so the medicine can reach deeper into the lungs.
A practical point many people miss: rinse your mouth and spit after treatments that contain inhaled steroids (like budesonide). This lowers the chance of oral thrush and throat irritation.
Side effects of Budesal Respules
Side effects vary, and many people have none, but these are reported with the ingredients in this product:
- From budesonide: hoarseness, sore throat, cough, oral thrush (a yeast infection in the mouth)
- From levalbuterol: shaky hands, nervous feeling, headache, faster heartbeat, feeling “wired.”
If you notice chest pain, severe dizziness, a very fast or irregular heartbeat, worsening wheeze right after treatment, or signs of an allergic reaction (rash, swelling, trouble breathing), seek medical help right away.
Interactions and important precautions
Tell your prescriber about all medicines and supplements you take. Interactions are not guaranteed, but they matter, especially if you use:
- Beta-blockers (may blunt bronchodilator effect)
- Other stimulants (may increase jitteriness or heart rate)
- Diuretics (may affect potassium in some situations)
- Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (can raise steroid exposure with budesonide in some cases)
If you have heart rhythm problems, uncontrolled high blood pressure, thyroid disease, diabetes, glaucoma, or a history of frequent infections, ask your prescriber what to watch for.
Available Strengths and Other Dosages (as seen on the market)
Budesal Respules are listed as budesonide 1mg + levalbuterol 1.25mg per unit-dose vial. Availability of combo strengths can vary by manufacturer and supply.
Related strengths you may see as separate nebuliser medications include:
- Budesonide respules: 0.25 mg/2 mL, 0.5 mg/2 mL, 1 mg/2 mL
- Levalbuterol solution: 0.31 mg/3 mL, 0.63 mg/3 mL, 1.25 mg/3 mL
- Albuterol solution (alternative bronchodilator): common strengths include 2.5 mg/3 mL (and others)
Ask your clinician which strength matches your age, symptoms, and action plan.
Alternatives
Depending on your condition and treatment goals, a clinician may consider:
- Budesonide respules alone (generic budesonide; commonly compared to Pulmicort Respules)
- Levalbuterol nebuliser solution alone (generic; commonly compared to Xopenex)
- Albuterol nebuliser solution (often used as a rescue bronchodilator)
- Ipratropium nebuliser solution (bronchodilator option often used in COPD)
- Ipratropium/albuterol combination (DuoNeb) for certain COPD or flare situations
- Controller inhalers like budesonide/formoterol or fluticasone/salmeterol (device-based alternatives, not nebulised)
Your best alternative depends on whether the priority is fast relief, daily control, fewer side effects, or easier dosing.
FAQs About Budesal Respules
Can I mix Budesal Respules with saline or other nebuliser medicines in the same cup? Only do this if your prescriber or pharmacist says it’s OK. Some mixtures are fine; others can alter how the treatment is delivered. How should I store Budesal Respules, and can I use a vial if it was left out? Follow the label directions. If storage conditions were missed, ask a pharmacist before using it. What should I do if I miss a scheduled dose? Use your prescriber’s instructions. In many cases, you take it when remembered unless it’s close to the next dose, but personal plans vary. Can I use Budesal Respules with any nebuliser machine? Not always. Some medicines perform differently depending on the nebuliser type and settings. Confirm compatibility with your device. Is Budesal Respules safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? This is individualised. Your prescriber weighs symptom control and known ingredient safety data against potential risks.| size | 30 Respules, 60 Respule/s, 90 Respules |
