About Budxpand LV 0.5 Nebuliser Suspension Respule

Budxpand LV 0.5 Nebuliser Suspension Respule is a combination medication primarily used to prevent or treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) like shortness of breath, coughing, or wheezing (whistling sound while breathing). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Budxpand LV 0.5 Nebuliser Suspension Respule is a combination of two drugs, namely: Salbutamol (bronchodilator) and Budesonide (corticosteroid).

Budesonide belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside cells of the nasal lining and stops the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions.
