Budecort 100 Inhaler is a medication used to prevent the symptoms of asthma, such as wheezing and shortness of breath. It is a steroid and is known as a "preventer". It should be used regularly to be effective, and you should also have a fast-acting "reliever" on hand in case of an asthma attack. It is important to take the lowest effective dose to control your asthma, and to use proper inhaler technique for maximum benefit.
Common side effects of Budecort 100 Inhaler include throat irritation, difficulty swallowing, and fungal infections in the mouth or throat. You should talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects. Other rare, serious side effects may also occur, and you should discuss any concerns with your doctor.
