I'm just wondering if the Budamate 200 mcg inhaler could be harmful because I know it's a steroid. Is it as risky as other steroids? I'm also concerned about whether using it could lead to something like black fungus. I used it for about five days when I was recovering from COVID. Can you help me understand the possible side effects?

I'm really worried because my mom has been using Foracort 400 and Tiova inhalers twice daily for about ten years now, but today she accidentally took Tiova twice instead of once. I'm not sure if she should still take her Foracort as planned or skip it. What should we do?
If your mom has accidentally taken Tiova twice, it's important not to take another dose of Tiova today. She can still take her usual Foracort dose, as long as she hasn't exceeded the recommended limit for either inhaler. If she feels any unusual symptoms like increased heart rate or dizziness, please seek medical advice promptly.

My wife has had a dry cough for a month now, and it's worse at night when shes trying to sleep. She's also breastfeeding. Her doctor said it might be asthma, even though she doesnt have any trouble breathing, and prescribed budamate 200 with an inhaler. She used the inhaler once but her cough got worse afterward. Is this safe for her, and should she keep using it? I'm really worried about why her cough got worse after just one dose.
Budesonide and Formoterol are generally considered safe for breastfeeding mothers, as only minimal amounts pass into breast milk and After using the inhaler, rinsing helps reduce throat irritation and prevents infections like thrush.
