Anyone use Budesonide inhalation with good results?

Posted by noisylungs31 @noisylungs31, Nov 13 10:15am

Diagnosed with asthma in 2019. Have been using inhalation saline 3% and cromolyn sodium with some success to relieve mucus buildup, coughing, and wheezing. Now the good effects appear to have worn off. I am severely sensitive to steroids and resort to Flovent only when wheezing gets so noisy, it keeps me awake. Lately, I wake up around 5 am congested, with breathing difficulty. I get up and sit upright. Seems like my meds inhaled before bedtime have worn off.
I wondered if Budesonide might help. I have some on hand to use.
Anybody here use it with good results?

I do duo nebs 2 or 3 times pet day. I got on astrazeneca free program for fasenea and air supra inhaler. Inhaler let's me skip a nebs treatment some days. Check with your pulmonary doc. AZandme.com for application but doc needs to send prescription

@jwool89 Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid.If you are sensitive, pleas call your doctor before trying it.

I have asthma, emphysema, & bronchiectasis. Have been inhaling Budesonide for years with success and it doesn’t wear off becoming ineffective. I think doing biologic shots would do wonders for you though. My daughter and I both have had great success with them. Dupixent is our pulmonologist’s (Mayo Clinic) top choice but we also handled Xolair and Fasenra well. It’s a matter of trying them and finding what works for you without having a reaction.
