Question: Does budecort and Levilon inhaler have steroids ?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Yogesh D (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Yes. Budecort is the steroid.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for the query.

Yes, budecort is budesonide, it is a corticosteroid.

Levolin does not have any steroid, is is levosalbutamol which is a bronchodialtor.

The dose of budesonide in budecort inhaler is negligible as it is directly inhaled, large doses are not required so a very small dose is prepared in inhalation form.

Both are prescribed for asthma.

I hope this answers your query.

Best regards

My 3 year old has been prescribed budecort 200 once a day for 2 weeks . She doesn’t have asthma but just been down with recurrent viral infection and cough that won’t go away so a pulmonologist has prescribed it . Is it safe or will it lead to asthma in future.

Hello XXXXXXX

Thank you writing back with details.

No, taking budecort inhaler now for viral bronchitis will not cause asthma in future.

Budecort inhalation for viral bronchitis is the standard treatment and is quite safe.

Please do not worry, continue the treatment.
