Do not swallow Budecort Rotacap. This is intended to be taken by inhalation only, using your Rotahaler. The leaflet is given in which full information about the drug and its apt use is written. Just go through it once and then take medicine. Talk to your doctor if you have doubts about the drug and its usage.

Always use a clean and dirt-free mouthpiece. Take the Rotacap and insert the capsule into the Rotahaler by keeping it upright. Change the upright position to a horizontal one by keeping the white spot up and the lighter-coloured end in a different direction. This leads to the opening of the capsule shell. Then, gently breathe out and seal your lips around the mouthpiece. Take a full, deep breath in your mouth and hold your breath for up to ten seconds. Afterwards, take a normal breath and throw away the empty capsule shell. Reorganize the Rotahaler and repeat the procedure prescribed. Always talk to your Doctor or Pharmacist to ensure that you are taking medicine correctly as prescribed by the doctor.

Take medicine as prescribed by the doctor. He will tell you how many puffs to take each time. Always try to take the dose at the same time each day; this reduces the chances of missing a dose.

Do not stop taking Budecort Rotacap or change the dose without consulting your doctor. This drug is meant to be taken regularly, so keep on taking the drug as long as recommended by the doctor.
