How to use: dosage and course of treatment
Inhalation, using a special inhaler (turbuhaler, cyclohaler, etc.). Each capsule of the inhaler contains 200 doses, one portion of the powder separated from the capsule by the inhaler dispenser contains 200 μg of budesonide. Inhaled 200-800 mcg / day for 2-4 breaths.
Powder for inhalation. If the previous treatment of bronchial asthma was carried out only by beta2-adrenostimulants or inhaled GCS - 200-400 mcg (1-2 inhalations) 2 times a day; if systemic corticosteroids were used - 400-800 mcg (2-4 inhalations) 2 times a day.
The maximum dose for patients receiving only beta2-adrenostimulants is 800 mcg / day; for patients previously treated with inhaled or systemic corticosteroids, - 1600 mcg / day.
Children over 6 years: 1 inhalation (200 mcg / day), max. 2 inhalations 2 times a day (400 mcg / day).
Suspension for inhalation. Adults - 1-2 mg, children 3 months-12 years old - 0.25-1 mg, if necessary previously diluted with 2-4 ml of NaCl solution, 2 times a day. After receiving the effect, the dose is reduced to the effective lowest dose necessary to maintain a stable state.
In cases where the patient took GCS orally, transfer to budesonide therapy is possible in the stable phase of the disease (for 10-14 days, inhalations and GCS are taken orally, then gradually reduce the doses given orally, until it is completely canceled).
pharmachologic effect
GCS for local use, has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and immunosuppressive effects. It increases the production of lipocortin, which is an inhibitor of phospholipase A2, inhibits the release of arachidonic acid, inhibits the synthesis of arachidonic acid metabolism products - cyclic endoperoxides and Pg. Prevents marginal accumulation of neutrophils, reduces inflammatory exudation and cytokine production, inhibits macrophage migration, reduces the severity of processes of infiltration and granulation, the formation of chemotaxis substance (which explains the effectiveness in the "late" allergy reactions); inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells ("immediate" allergic reaction).
It increases the number of “active” beta-adrenergic receptors, restores the patient’s response to bronchodilators, allowing them to be reduced in frequency, reduces swelling of the bronchial mucosa, mucus production, sputum formation and reduces airway hyperresponsiveness. Increases mucociliary transport. It has a fungicidal effect. It is well tolerated with long-term treatment, does not have ISS activity, practically has no resorptive effect.
