View company portfolio →What NEUMOCORT FORTE METERD-DOSE INHALER (Budesonide) is used for
Budesonide is a steroid medicine (a corticosteroid) that calms inflammation. It acts mainly where it is used, so it comes in different forms for different body parts: inhalers and nebuliser liquid for the lungs, nasal sprays for the nose, and capsules, tablets, granules or rectal foam for the gut. It is a prescription medicine for most uses. Inhaled budesonide is a 'preventer': it helps stop symptoms but does not relieve an attack once it has started. Budesonide is also found with formoterol in a combination inhaler, which has its own page.
- Asthma (inhalers and nebuliser liquid), to prevent symptoms
- COPD (inhalers), to prevent symptoms
- Croup in infants and children (nebuliser liquid)
- Hay fever and nasal polyps (nasal spray)
- Crohn's disease, when it affects the lower small bowel and the start of the large bowel (capsules or granules)
- Microscopic colitis, a cause of long-lasting watery diarrhoea (capsules)
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for signs of a severe allergic reaction: swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue or throat, wheezing or struggling to breathe, a tight throat, blue or pale lips or skin, or sudden confusion or fainting.
- Stop the inhaler and get urgent medical help if you wheeze suddenly right after using it (this is very rare).
- Contact a doctor or call 111 straight away for signs of infection, such as fever, chills, a severe sore throat, ear or sinus pain, a cough that will not go away, or mouth sores.
- Contact a doctor straight away for severe stomach upset or vomiting, dizziness or fainting, muscle weakness, extreme tiredness, mood changes or loss of appetite. These can be signs that the adrenal glands are not working properly.
