Budate 200 Transhaler is a steroid. It prevents the cells in the lungs and breathing passages from releasing chemical messengers that cause inflammation (swelling) of the airways. This makes breathing easier.

Budate 200 Transhaler 'dampens down' inflammation in the lungs to provide long-term (maintenance) treatment of asthma and prevent disease progression. Take it at the same time every day to prevent asthma attacks. Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat. Never breathe out into the mouthpiece. Only minuscule amounts of Budate 200 Transhaler may get absorbed into the bloodstream after inhalation. Hence serious side effects such or weight gain are unlikely.
