Budesonide Inhalation / Nebuliser Suspension (100mcg, 200mcg MDI; 400mcg Rotacaps; 1mg/2ml Respules) is a potent inhaled glucocorticoid on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It diffuses into airway epithelial cells, binding to cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptors to inhibit multiple pro-inflammatory transcription factors (NF-kB, AP-1), dramatically reducing recruitment of eosinophils, T-lymphocytes, and mast cells while downregulating inflammatory cytokines. Undergoes reversible intracellular esterification with fatty acids, creating a prolonged mucosal depot. Indicated for maintenance treatment of bronchial asthma, croup (laryngotracheobronchitis in infants/children), and severe COPD.
