salbutamol + budesonide

Salbutamol + budesonide is a fixed-dose combination inhalation medication used for the as-needed treatment or prevention of bronchoconstriction and to reduce the risk of asthma attacks in adults. It combines two active ingredients: salbutamol (also known as albuterol), a short-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist bronchodilator that relaxes airway smooth muscle, and budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways. This combination is notable for being the first product containing an inhaled corticosteroid approved by the FDA as a reliever (rescue) therapy rather than solely as a controller medication for asthma. The drug is administered via oral inhalation using a metered-dose inhaler[1][2][3][5][6].
