Budenide Nasal Spray contains Budesonide 100 mcg per spray, a corticosteroid designed for the management of nasal inflammation and allergy-related symptoms. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as allergic rhinitis, hay fever, and nasal polyps.
Budesonide works by reducing inflammation, swelling, and irritation in the nasal passages. The spray provides targeted local therapy directly to the nasal mucosa, minimizing systemic absorption and maximizing relief from nasal congestion, sneezing, itching, and runny nose.
