About Budecort Rotacaps

Budecort Rotacaps is used to reduce those symptoms that are associated with asthma (wheezing and breath shortness). The drug is called steroid, and is referred to as an “preventer”. You must be able to take a rapid-acting “reliever” as well because this medication will not stop the asthma attack that has already begun.

Your doctor will advise you how often to take Budecort Rotacaps. It is crucial to get the most minimal dose to control your asthma effectively. The effects of this medication can be felt within a few days, but it will be at its peak within a couple of weeks.

Budecort Rotacaps must be used often to make it effective and so continue to take it even if it doesn’t notice any signs. The absence of symptoms means that the medication is doing its job. If you stop taking it your asthma may get worse. It is not recommended to use it to alleviate sudden asthma attacks.

When an asthma attack happens then use your quick-relief inhaler “reliever”. In order to benefit from this medication, you must ensure that you are using the inhaler setup right. If you don’t it won’t function effectively.

The most commonly reported side effects include irritation in the throat, trouble swallowing as well as fungal infections in the throat or mouth. If you suffer from these issues, don’t discontinue taking the medication, but consult your physician. You can reduce the risk of experiencing these symptoms by washing your throat and mouth using water, or flossing your teeth following the use of the inhaler.

There are also other, rare adverse effects that could be dangerous. Consult your physician in case you’re concerned about these. In general it is recommended to stay clear of situations that can make the asthma condition get worse (your asthma triggers) and avoid smoking smoke.
