Overview
Budesonide 200mcg CFC Free Inhaler contains budesonide 200mcg per actuation in a CFC-free pressurised metered-dose inhaler (pMDI), an inhaled corticosteroid used for the regular, preventive treatment of asthma. It is a maintenance (controller) medicine and is not intended to relieve a sudden asthma attack.
Budesonide works by acting locally on the airway lining, reducing the inflammation, swelling, and excess mucus production that characterise asthma, which over time makes the airways less sensitive and reactive to triggers.
How it Works
Budesonide binds to glucocorticoid receptors within airway cells, reducing the production of inflammatory mediators and suppressing the recruitment of inflammatory cells to the airway lining. With regular use, this reduces airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness, lowering the frequency and severity of asthma symptoms and flare-ups over time.
Directions for Use
Shake Budesonide 200mcg CFC Free Inhaler well before each use. Breathe out fully away from the inhaler, seal your lips around the mouthpiece, and press the canister while inhaling slowly and deeply, then hold your breath for about 10 seconds before breathing out. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after each use to reduce the risk of oral thrush and hoarseness.
Dosage
The dose of Budesonide 200mcg CFC Free Inhaler is individualised based on asthma severity, typically one to two puffs taken twice daily, with your doctor adjusting the dose according to your symptom control. This medicine must be used regularly, every day, even when you feel well, to maintain control of your asthma.
Shelf Life

Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to budesonide or any ingredient in this inhaler
- Use as the sole treatment for an acute asthma attack (this is not a reliever/rescue inhaler)
- Active, untreated respiratory tract infections such as tuberculosis or fungal infections of the airway (requires specialist assessment)
Drug / Food Interactions
- Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, ritonavir) can increase systemic absorption of budesonide and the risk of corticosteroid-related side effects
- Other corticosteroids (oral, injectable, or inhaled) may have an additive systemic effect if used together
- Continuing to use your reliever (bronchodilator) inhaler as needed alongside this medicine is normal and often necessary – it is not an interaction to avoid
Quick Tips
- Use this inhaler every day as prescribed, even when you feel well, to keep your asthma under control
- Rinse and spit after each use to help prevent oral thrush and hoarseness
- Shake the inhaler well before each use for an even dose
- Always carry your reliever inhaler separately for sudden symptoms – this medicine does not relieve an acute attack
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Budesonide 200mcg CFC Free Inhaler used for?
Budesonide 200mcg CFC Free Inhaler is used for the regular, preventive (maintenance) treatment of asthma, reducing airway inflammation over time to lower the frequency and severity of symptoms and flare-ups.
Can I use this inhaler during a sudden asthma attack?
No, this is a preventive/maintenance inhaler and does not work quickly enough to relieve a sudden attack. Always use your prescribed reliever (bronchodilator) inhaler for sudden symptoms, and seek medical help if symptoms do not improve.
Why do I need to rinse my mouth after using this inhaler?
Rinsing and spitting out water after each use helps remove any medicine residue left in the mouth and throat, reducing the risk of oral thrush and hoarseness associated with inhaled corticosteroids.
Can I stop using Budesonide 200mcg CFC Free Inhaler once my asthma symptoms improve?
Do not stop without your doctor’s advice, even if you feel better, as this medicine works by controlling underlying airway inflammation over time, and stopping suddenly can allow symptoms to return.
