What is Budecort Rotacaps 200 mcg?

Budecort Rotacaps 200 mcg is a corticosteroid medicine used for the long-term management of asthma.

It works as a preventer medication, helping reduce airway inflammation and prevent asthma symptoms before they start.

Budecort contains Budesonide as its active ingredient, which helps control symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, breathlessness, and coughing.

These Rotacaps do not provide instant relief during sudden asthma attacks, so a fast-acting reliever inhaler should always be kept handy.

Budecort 200 mcg is not recommended for children below 6 years of age.

Children between 6 and 12 years should use it only when advised by a doctor.
