albuterol/budesonide Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What dosages is albuterol/budesonide available in?
albuterol/budesonide is available as a metered dose inhaler that delivers a
combination of albuterol 90 mcg and budesonide 80 mcg per actuation
What is albuterol/budesonide used for?
albuterol/budesonide is a SABA/inhaled corticosteroid that is used for the prevention and treatment of asthma flare-ups.
How does albuterol/budesonide work?
albuterol/budesonide 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 albuterol/budesonide?
Each inhalation of albuterol/budesonide 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 albuterol/budesonide?
albuterol/budesonide is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects.
