Giving Duolin And Budecort Respules For Wheezing, Shifting Abroad. Should I Change ?

Hi I was giving my son Duolin and Budecort respules when he starts with wheeze as advised by doctor. I am currently in CA, USA and not sure if I will be getting the same medicines here at store. If any doctor here would suggest me if I there is any other name for these two or should I try something else. These two works good for my son.

Hello dear,

Wheezing is caused due to broncho-constriction (obstruction of smaller airway passages) which is indicative of Hyper-responsiveness of air passages (seasonal allergy or asthma)

1. Duolin (pharmacologically Levosalbutamol and Ipratropium)- provide symptomatic relief by causing broncho-dilation (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs)
2. Budecort (pharmacologically Budesonide)- is a corticosteroid that prevents inflammation in the lungs and airways.

So, even if the brand names of the medicines may be different, you can take them by looking into the pharmacological constituents.
Wishing your child a good health.
Take care.
