Does budesonide inhalation suspension have similar effects as albuterol?
Budesonide inhalation suspension (Pulmicort) is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs. It is a “controller” medication that helps prevent asthma attacks rather than treat them. Albuterol is a “rescue” medication. Like Pulmicort, it can help prevent asthma attacks, but, unlike Pulmicort, it treats attacks in progress.
