Budesal Respules (Budesonide/Levalbuterol)

What Is Budesal Respules and How Does It Work?

Budesal Respules, 2ml, is a medication prescribed for treating asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a lung condition that limits airflow into the lungs. It contains a combination of Levosalbutamol and Budesonide. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator, which relaxes and expands the muscles in the airways, easing breathing. Budesonide, a corticosteroid, works by reducing inflammation in the airways, helping to prevent swelling and narrowing. The combination of these two drugs helps relieve symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing.
