Budecort Inhaler

Budesonide

100mcg · 200mcg

From$1.60/ tabletView

Atrovent

Ipratropium

20mcg

Ipratropium inhaler for bronchospasm and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is a maintenance therapy, not a quick-relief inhaler.

Deltasone

Prednisone

Prednisone tablets for inflammatory conditions and allergic reactions. It binds to receptors inside cells to block the production of inflammatory signals.

Key points

  • Foracort Inhaler and Advair Diskus combine a bronchodilator with a corticosteroid in one inhaler, while Budecort Inhaler contains budesonide alone.
  • Ventolin is a tablet here, unlike the inhaled bronchodilators Atrovent and Tiova Rotacap.
  • Deltasone is also listed under Pain & Anti-inflammatories, alongside its role here for asthma exacerbation.
  • Nasonex Nasal Spray is listed for allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps, not asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease like the rest of this range.

Combination and single-ingredient inhalers

Formoterol and budesonide combine in Foracort Inhaler, listed for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Advair Diskus pairs fluticasone propionate with salmeterol for the same two conditions. Budecort Inhaler contains budesonide alone, also listed for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Other bronchodilators and oral options

Prednisone is the corticosteroid in Deltasone, listed for inflammatory conditions, allergic states and asthma exacerbation. Ventolin (salbutamol) and Atrovent (ipratropium) are bronchodilators listed for bronchospasm, and Tiova Rotacap (tiotropium) is also a bronchodilator, listed for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Singulair (montelukast) is listed for asthma, allergic rhinitis and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction prevention.
