How it works
Budamate Neb 0.5 Respules is a combination of Budesonide and Formoterol. Budesonide inhibits the release of certain chemical substances that are responsible for causing pain, redness, and swelling. Formoterol relaxes and opens the blocked air passages leading to your lungs; this improves the amount of airflow to the lungs and makes breathing easier. Their combination is effective for the maintenance treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
