Budecort 100 Rotacaps (Budesonide) 

Budecort 100mcg rotacaps is made by Cipla whose main ingredient is Budesonide. It is a steroid and is used in the treatment of asthma. Functionally it works by preventing cells and breathing passages in lungs from releasing chemical messenger that causes inflammation of the airways. This action helps in widening the passage of airways and makes breathing easier.

Rotacaps are usually placed inside the rotahaler and not in your mouth. So place the capsule at the base of rotahaler and twist the mouthpiece completely until you hear a click and breathe in deeply through the mouthpiece. Hold your breath for up to 10 seconds and if some powder is remaining in the device then repeat the process.
