Budesonide is a type of medicine called a glucocorticosteroid, which reduces inflammation in the airways which is partly responsible for the symptoms of asthma. It is important to take budesonide every day because it treats the chronic, underlying part of asthma. When it is left untreated, inflammation can worsen. The lungs can become more inflamed and asthma symptoms and attacks can increase. More information for US residents is available at the Pulmicort Turbuhaler Consumer Site .
