About Budojet LV Respules

Budojet LV Respules is a combination medication primarily used to prevent or treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), such as shortness of breath, coughing, or wheezing (whistling sound while breathing).

COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).

Budojet LV Respules is a combination of two drugs: Levosalbutamol (bronchodilator) and Budesonide (corticosteroid). Levosalbutamol belongs to the class of bronchodilators that work by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Thus, it makes breathing easier. Budesonide belongs to the class of corticosteroids that work by acting inside cells of the nasal lining and stopping the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thereby, it provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and sinus discomfort.
