What is Budesonide used for?
Novopulmon Novolizer contains budesonide, a corticosteroid that acts on the inflammatory pathway of the respiratory tract.
- Asthma: improves control of symptoms and reduces the frequency of exacerbations. - Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): decreases airway inflammation and helps maintain lung function. - Allergic rhinitis: alleviates nasal inflammation when used as directed for upper airway symptoms.
What are the side effects of Budesonide?
Adverse reactions may occur with inhaled budesonide, ranging from mild to serious.
Common Side Effects: - Oral candidiasis: fungal infection of the mouth. - Hoarseness: voice changes after inhalation. - Throat irritation: mild discomfort in the throat. - Cough: transient coughing after use. - Upper respiratory tract infection: mild cold‑like symptoms.
Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Paradoxical bronchospasm: worsening of breathing difficulty. - Adrenal suppression: reduced cortisol production with high‑dose or prolonged use. - Pneumonia: infection of the lung tissue, especially in COPD patients. - Glaucoma or cataract progression: increased intra‑ocular pressure. - Systemic glucocorticoid effects: bruising, skin thinning, or growth retardation in children.
What precautions apply to Budesonide?
When using Novolizer, follow safety guidelines to minimise risks.
- Monitor lung function: assess response and adjust therapy as needed. - Use a spacer: reduces oropharyngeal deposition and irritation. - Rinse mouth after inhalation: helps prevent oral candidiasis. - Review concomitant medications: avoid unnecessary systemic steroids. - Assess for infections: watch for signs of pneumonia or tuberculosis. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.
