Budesonide is a prescription corticosteroid used as a daily maintenance treatment to prevent and control asthma symptoms in adults and children. By reducing airway inflammation and swelling, it improves breathing and helps prevent asthma attacks. It is available as a dry powder inhaler (Pulmicort Flexhaler) and as a nebulizer suspension (Pulmicort Respules) for those who have difficulty using inhalers.
