General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,

Asthma is caused due to broncho-constriction (obstruction of smaller airway passages) which is indicative of Hyper-responsiveness of air passages.

1. Asthalin (pharmacologically Salbutamol) 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 cortico-steroid which takes care of the inflammatory process and reduces the hyper-responsiveness of air passages.

Both the medications act through different mechanisms and provide relief from bronchial asthma.
So, the medications prescribed by your treating Doctor are correct.
Please continue them as advised.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
