This is common practice in acute moderate-to-severe asthma and COPD.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does it take Budecort Respules to work?<\/h3>\n<p>Some improvement within hours when used in acute attacks (combined with bronchodilators). For preventer effect, full benefit takes 1\u20132 weeks of consistent dosing.<\/p>\n<h3>How are Budecort Respules used in croup?<\/h3>\n<p>A single 2 mg nebulised dose of budesonide is a standard A&#038;E treatment for moderate-to-severe paediatric croup, alongside (or as an alternative to) oral dexamethasone. Reduces stridor and prevents intubation.<\/p>\n<h3>Are Budecort Respules safe for infants?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, from 6 months of age in age-appropriate doses (0.25\u20130.5 mg twice daily). The most data-supported ICS in young children.<\/p>\n<h3>Why do I have to wipe my child&#8217;s face after nebulisation?<\/h3>\n<p>Steroid residue on facial skin can cause local irritation and (rarely) acneiform reactions. A quick wipe with a clean damp cloth removes it.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I refrigerate Budecort Respules?<\/h3>\n<p>No \u2014 store below 25 \u00b0C, do not refrigerate, do not freeze. Once a respule is opened, use immediately and discard the unused portion.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does the respule&#8217;s effect last?<\/h3>\n<p>Pharmacological half-life of budesonide is short (~3 hours), but the anti-inflammatory effect on bronchial mucosa lasts much longer \u2014 twice-daily dosing maintains continuous suppression.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I add hypertonic saline or other drugs to the cup?<\/h3>\n<p>No \u2014 do not mix Budecort with antibiotics, DNase, hypertonic saline, or colistin. These nebulisations are given in separate sessions.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fff3f3;border-left:4px solid #d9534f;padding:14px 18px;margin:24px 0;border-radius:4px;font-size:13px;\"><strong>\u0399\u03b1\u03c4\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03af\u03b7\u03c3\u03b7 \u03b5\u03c5\u03b8\u03cd\u03bd\u03b7\u03c2:<\/strong> This page is educational and does not replace professional medical advice.
