Overview

Budetrol G inhalation capsule is a combination medicine used for long-term maintenance treatment in adults with moderate to severe Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It helps open the airways, making breathing easier, and reduces symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. The medication also helps prevent exacerbations of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), particularly when other inhalers are insufficient.

Budesonide is a corticosteroid that reduces airway inflammation, swelling, and mucus, thereby improving airflow and decreasing COPD exacerbations. Glycopyrronium, a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), relaxes airway smooth muscle and maintains airway patency, thereby improving breathing and lung function. Formoterol, a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA), relaxes airway smooth muscle, improves airflow, reduces wheezing and shortness of breath, and facilitates daily activities.

Budetrol G inhalation capsule should be used exactly as prescribed, with proper inhaler technique and regular monitoring. It is not intended for the sudden relief of breathlessness, and patients should follow medical advice regarding other medications, pregnancy, and coexisting conditions to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Usage Instructions

Directions for Use

Use Budetrol G inhalation capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Rinse your mouth with water after use to reduce the risk of throat irritation or oral infections.

Safety Information

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Can I use Budetrol G inhalation capsule during pregnancy?

Use of Budetrol G inhalation capsule during pregnancy should only be considered if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs any potential risk to the baby. Limited data suggest that budesonide is generally safe; very small amounts of glycopyrronium may cross the placenta; and high doses of formoterol in animals have shown some risk. Always consult your doctor before using Budetrol G inhalation capsule while pregnant.

Breast Feeding

Can I use Budetrol G inhalation capsule while breastfeeding?

Use of Budetrol G inhalation capsule while breastfeeding should only be considered if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the baby. Budesonide passes into breast milk in very small amounts, with no expected effects on the infant, while it is not known whether glycopyrronium or formoterol is excreted. Always consult your doctor before using Budetrol G inhalation capsule while breastfeeding.

Driving

Can I drive if I have used Budetrol G inhalation capsule?

Budetrol G inhalation capsule has little or no effect on your ability to drive or use machines. However, dizziness is an uncommon side effect, so you should be careful and see how you react before driving or operating machinery. Always consult your doctor if you are unsure.

Alcohol

Can I consume alcohol with Budetrol G inhalation capsule?

No known information is available.

Other General Warnings

Talk to your doctor if

You need relief from sudden breathing problems; this medication is not for acute use.
You experience immediate wheezing or shortness of breath after using the inhaler, as this may indicate paradoxical bronchospasm.
Your COPD symptoms suddenly worsen, or you need to use your reliever inhaler more often, as this may indicate disease deterioration.
You have heart problems, arrhythmias, or severe cardiovascular disease, as this medicine can affect the heart.
You have a known or suspected prolonged QTc interval, as the medicine may affect heart rhythm.
You are at risk of systemic corticosteroid effects, such as adrenal suppression, reduced bone density, cataract, or glaucoma.
You are switching from oral steroids, as your adrenal function may still be impaired, and stress doses may be needed.
You develop a fever, increased cough, or worsening shortness of breath, as these may be signs of pneumonia.
You have low potassium or take other medicines that can lower potassium, as this medicine may increase the risk of hypokalaemia.
You have diabetes, as the medicine may increase blood sugar levels.
You have thyroid problems, urinary retention, prostatic enlargement, or narrow-angle glaucoma due to anticholinergic effects.
You are taking other medicines with anticholinergic effects, as combining them may increase side effects.
You have severe kidney or liver problems, as the medicine may need careful monitoring or dose adjustment.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Budesonide: A corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways, helping to decrease swelling and mucus production, which makes breathing easier and helps prevent COPD flare-ups.
Glycopyrronium: A long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) that relaxes the airway muscles by blocking certain receptors, helping to keep the airways open for easier breathing.
Formoterol Fumarate: A long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) that relaxes the muscles around the airways, improving airflow and reducing symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath.
