How Medicine Works

Budesal 1mg Respule 2ml is a combination of two medicines: Levosalbutamol/Levalbuterol and Budesonide. Levosalbutamol/Levalbuterol is a bronchodilator which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. Budesonide is a corticosteroid. It acts by stopping the release of certain natural substances in body that are responsible for inflammation (swelling) in the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.
