About Bunase-L 0.5 mg Respule 5's

Bunase-L 0.5 mg Respule 5's is a combination medication primarily used to prevent or treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as 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).

Bunase-L 0.5 mg Respule 5's is a combination of two drugs, namely: Levosalbutamol (bronchodilator) and Budesonide (corticosteroid). Levosalbutamol belongs to the class of bronchodilators that works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Thus, it makes breathing easier. 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. Thereby, it provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and sinus discomfort.

Bunase-L 0.5 mg Respule 5's is for inhalation only. Use Bunase-L 0.5 mg Respule 5's as advised by your doctor. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Bunase-L 0.5 mg Respule 5's based on your medical condition. Some people may experience fungal infection in the mouth, headache, sore throat, hoarse voice, back pain, fast heartbeat, muscle cramps, or shaking. Most of these side effects of Bunase-L 0.5 mg Respule 5's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Bunase-L 0.5 mg Respule 5's. Bunase-L 0.5 mg Respule 5's is not recommended for children below 6 years of age. Avoid contact with people who have infections or who are sick as Bunase-L 0.5 mg Respule 5's may weaken the immune system causing infections easily.
