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

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

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

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.

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. 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.
