AIRSUPRA Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing

Medically reviewed by Jamie Winn, Pharm.D

Written by Rajive Patel, B.Pharm

What is AIRSUPRA?

AIRSUPRA is the brand name for albuterol and budesonide and is available as an inhalation aerosol.

What dosages is AIRSUPRA available in?

AIRSUPRA is available as a metered dose inhaler that delivers a
combination of albuterol 90 mcg and budesonide 80 mcg per actuation

What is AIRSUPRA used for?

AIRSUPRA is a SABA/inhaled corticosteroid that is used for the prevention and treatment of asthma flare-ups.

How does AIRSUPRA work?

AIRSUPRA is a combination of two medications.

Albuterol is a short-acting beta-agonist (SABA). It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways to the lungs. This opens up the lungs and makes breathing easier during an asthma attack
Budesonide is a corticosteroid. It reduces chemicals in your body that cause swelling and inflammation. Inflammation in your lungs can lead to difficulty breathing. By lowering inflammation, budesonide makes it easier for you to breathe

How do I take AIRSUPRA?

Each inhalation of AIRSUPRA contains 90 mcg of albuterol and 80 mcg of budesonide. The typical dose is 2 inhalations by mouth as needed for asthma symptoms (e.g., shortness of breath, wheezing, cough). Don’t use more than 6 doses (12 inhalations) in a 24-hour period.

Is it safe for me to take AIRSUPRA?

AIRSUPRA is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you have a hypersensitivity to albuterol, budesonide, or to any of the excipients.

and use with caution
