1. What is Budena and what is it used for

Budena 0.5 mg/ml is a sterile suspension for inhalation via a nebulizer (inhalation device). When you breathe through the mouthpiece or mask, the medicine will reach your lungs through the inhaled air.

Budena contains budesonide. Budesonide belongs to a group of medicines called glucocorticoids, which are used to reduce inflammation.

Asthma is caused by inflammation of the airways. Budesonide reduces and prevents this inflammation.

Budena is used for the maintenance treatment of asthma and the treatment of very severe subglottic laryngitis that requires hospitalization. It should be used regularly as directed by your doctor.

Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before taking Budena

Do not use Budena:

If you are allergic to budesonide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take budesonide if any of the following apply to you:

  • If you have or have had pulmonary tuberculosis or any other recent infection.
  • If you have ever had liver problems.
  • If your doctor has prescribed budesonide for you and you are being treated with corticosteroid tablets, your doctor may gradually reduce the dose of these tablets (over a period of weeks or months) and may eventually stop the previous treatment. In this case, some symptoms such as runny nose, hives, or muscle and joint pain may temporarily reappear. If any of these symptoms worry you, or if you experience any other symptoms such as headache, fatigue, nausea, or vomiting, contact your doctor.
  • Budesonide has been prescribed for you for the maintenance treatment of asthma. However, it will NOT relieve an acute asthma attack once it has started.
  • Contact your doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances.

Children

  • If administered to children, your doctor will regularly review their growth, as this medicine may cause growth retardation.

Talk to your doctor if you have any other health problems. Do not use this medicine for other conditions without your doctor's advice. Never give it to another person.

Not all nebulizers are suitable for use with budesonide. DO NOTuse ultrasonic nebulizers with Budena 0.5 mg/ml suspension for inhalation by nebulizer.

Using Budena with other medicines:

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medicines. This includes medicines obtained without a prescription and herbal remedies. Some medicines may increase the effects of budesonide, so your doctor will monitor you closely if you are taking these medicines. In particular, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using any of the following medicines:

  • Medicines for treating fungal infections (such as itraconazole and ketoconazole).
  • Medicines for HIV (such as ritonavir or cobicistat).
  • Cimetidine (a medicine for stomach acidity).
  • Estrogens and steroid contraceptives.

Use in athletes

Athletes are informed that this medicine contains a component that may produce a positive result in doping tests.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

There is no evidence that budesonide can harm the mother or child during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, you should contact your doctor as soon as possible if you become pregnant during treatment with budesonide.

Budesonide passes into breast milk, but in minimal amounts that do not affect the baby.

Use in children

Budesonide should always be administered under adult supervision to ensure correct administration of the medicine.

Driving and using machines

The influence of inhaled budesonide on the ability to drive and use machines is negligible.

3. How to take Budena

Follow your doctor's instructions for taking the medicine exactly. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Method of use and administration route

Budesonide should only be used for inhalation via a nebulizer. Do not use ultrasonic nebulizers, as they are not suitable for administering this medicine. Before starting treatment, you should know how to use the nebulizer. It is essential that you read the information in the "How to use Budena" section and follow the instructions carefully.

Dosage, administration frequency, and treatment duration

The dose of budesonide should be individualized. Your doctor will adjust the dose and prescribe the minimum dose that controls your asthma or subglottic laryngitis symptoms. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.

Your doctor will indicate the duration of your treatment with budesonide. Do not stop treatment before this, as your condition may worsen severely. Do not take more doses than your doctor has indicated.

If you think the effect of budesonide is too strong or too weak, tell your doctor or pharmacist.

Asthma

Recommended initial dose:

Children from 6 months onwards: 0.25-1 mg per day. In very severe cases, or in children treated with corticosteroid tablets, a higher initial dose (up to 2 mg per day, equivalent to 2 ampoules) may be administered. Your doctor may then consider adjusting the dose. Daily doses of up to 1 mg (1 ampoule) can be administered as a single dose. In cases where the lowest dose (0.25 mg/day) is needed, 1 ml of budesonide 0.25 mg/ml suspension for inhalation by nebulizer should be used.

Adults and elderly: 1-2 mg per day (1-2 ampoules per day). In very severe cases, the dose can be increased up to 4 mg (4 ampoules). Your doctor may then consider adjusting the dose. Daily doses of up to 1 mg (1 ampoule) can be administered as a single dose.

Maintenance dose: When your symptoms have improved, your doctor may decide to reduce your dose to the minimum dose that keeps you symptom-free.

It is possible that budesonide will provide relief from symptoms within a few days of treatment, although it may take 2-4 weeks to achieve a full effect. Therefore, it is essential that you do not stop using budesonide even when you feel better.

Remember that budesonide has been prescribed for you for the maintenance treatment of asthma. However, it will NOTrelieve an acute asthma attack once it has started.

Subglottic laryngitis

Infants and children: 2 mg per day (equivalent to 2 ampoules). This can be administered in a single dose or in two doses of 1 mg, separated by a 30-minute interval. The administration can be repeated every 12 hours for a maximum of 36 hours or until your doctor considers that your symptoms have improved.

How to use Budena 0.5 mg/ml suspension for inhalation by nebulizer

  1. Separate an ampoule from the strip, leaving the rest in the package (see diagram 1).
  2. Gently shake the ampoule.

  1. Open the ampoule by twisting the top end (see diagram 2).
  1. Place the open end firmly into the nebulizer reservoir and slowly squeeze. Replace the nebulizer reservoir cap. Carefully remove the empty ampoule.
  1. Connect one end of the reservoir to the mouthpiece or mask and the other end to the air pump.
  1. Gently shake the reservoir again and start the nebulization. During nebulization, breathe in the mist of the nebulized suspension deeply and slowly.
  2. When no more mist comes out of the mouthpiece or mask, the treatment is finished.
  3. When you have finished, rinse your mouth with water (do not swallow the water) and brush your teeth. If you have used a mask, wash your face well. It is essential to do this to reduce the risk of some side effects associated with this medicine.
    1. After each use, wash the nebulizer thoroughly. Wash the nebulizer reservoir and mouthpiece or mask with warm water using a mild detergent, following the manufacturer's instructions. The nebulizer should be rinsed well and dried by connecting the reservoir to the compressor or air outlet.

It is essential that you always follow the manufacturer's instructions that come with the nebulizer. If you are unsure about how to use the nebulizer, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

If you use more Budenathan you should

If you use a higher dose of budesonide than you should in a single occasion, it is unlikely to cause harm. If you use too much budesonide over a long period (months), side effects may occur. In this case, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately.

If you have used more budesonide than you should, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or call the Toxicology Information Service, telephone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount used. It is recommended to take the package and package leaflet of the medicine to the healthcare professional.

It is essential that you use the dose indicated on the packaging (space reserved for the pharmacist) or the dose prescribed by your doctor. Do not increase or decrease your dose without consulting your doctor.

If you forget to use Budena

If you forget to use a dose of budesonide, do not use a double dose to make up for the missed doses. Continue with your usual treatment as prescribed by your doctor.

If you have any doubts about using this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Usually, no side effects occur during the use of budesonide. However, tell your doctor about the following side effects that bother you or do not go away:

Common side effects: May affect up to 1 in 10 people

  • Mild throat irritation.
  • Cough.
  • Hoarseness
  • Fungal infection of the mouth and throat.

Uncommon side effects: May affect up to 1 in 100 people

  • Cataracts (loss of transparency of the lens in the eye).
  • Anxiety.
  • Depression.
  • Tremors.
  • Muscle cramps.
  • Blurred vision.

Rare side effects: May affect up to 1 in 1000 people

  • Allergic reactions, including skin rash, contact dermatitis, hives, and angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, and/or tongue with difficulty swallowing and breathing).
  • Bruises on the skin.
  • Behavioral changes (especially in children).
  • Restlessness.
  • Nervousness.
  • As with other inhaled treatments, bronchospasm (i.e., contraction of the airways, which causes wheezing) may rarely occur.
  • Effects on the adrenal glands (small glands located next to the kidneys).
  • Growth retardation.

Side effects of unknown frequencywhich may include

  • Sleep disorders, hyperactivity, or aggression.
  • Glaucoma (increased eye pressure).

Corticosteroids inhaled may affect the normal production of steroid hormones in the body, especially if high doses are used for a long time. These effects include:

  • changes in bone mineral density (decrease in bone mass).

These effects are much less likely with inhaled corticosteroids than with corticosteroid tablets.

If you were previously treated with corticosteroid tablets, switching to inhaled corticosteroids may cause some symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal pain, weakness, or vomiting to reappear. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.

In rare cases, long-term treatment with high doses may cause a reduction in growth rate in children, mainly in patients previously treated with corticosteroid tablets or particularly sensitive.

Skin irritation on the face has been observed in some cases where a nebulizer with a facial mask has been used. To prevent facial irritation, the face should be washed with water after using the mask.

If you think any of the side effects you are experiencing is serious, or if you notice any side effects not mentioned in this package leaflet, tell your doctor or pharmacist.
