Patient Concerns about Budecort Hfa Products
Frequently asked questions about Budecort Hfa Products
Q. Does BUDECORT HFA help with cough?
BUDECORT HFA helps relieve cough if it is caused due to asthma. In children, it is used to relieve cough which sounds like ‘dog bark’. This cough is caused due to irritation and swelling of the airways which further makes the airways narrow. As a result, when your child tries to breathe through the narrow passage, it becomes hard to breathe and causes coughing. BUDECORT HFA helps to reduce this irritation and swelling of the airways.
Q. Is BUDECORT HFA safe?
BUDECORT HFA is safe if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Take it exactly as directed and do not skip any dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and let your doctor know if any of the side effects bother you.
Q. Does BUDECORT HFA raise blood sugar?
Yes, if you are taking BUDECORT HFA orally, your blood sugar levels may increase. However, with BUDECORT HFA inhalers, an increase in the blood sugar levels is very rare but may increase only if very high doses are taken for a very long time.
Q. Is BUDECORT HFA effective?
BUDECORT HFA is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using BUDECORT HFA too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.
Q. What if I forget to take a dose of BUDECORT HFA?
If you forget a dose of BUDECORT HFA, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next scheduled dose in the prescribed time. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.
