NEXThaler vs. Budecort
September 1, 2014 | 22,00 EUR | answered by Dr. med. Kathrin Hamann
Good day,
I was recently prescribed a new asthma medication - the NexThaler. The side effects of the NexThaler appear to be quite extensive to me. Also, the potential interaction with antihistamines for allergy sufferers is unfavorable. What about long-term studies? Is the NexThaler from Foster recommended compared to Budecort?
Thank you in advance!
Good evening, I am happy to help you further.
The Nexthaler by Foster contains a combination of active ingredients that is significantly superior to the single active ingredient Budecort in terms of strength. The application method using the Haler is much improved compared to the Budecort spray. There are no interactions with antihistamines for allergy sufferers using the Nexthaler. Do you have allergic asthma? Often, even the combination of active ingredients in a single dose is superior when it comes to more severe forms of asthma. I can reassure you in this regard.
Long-term studies are conducted for all medications, but the Nexthaler is relatively new, so studies specifically related to the Nexthaler do not yet show long-term results. However, the combination of active ingredients has been around for much longer. It is excellent and, when used correctly and according to the prescribed frequency, shows no systemic side effects when inhaled.
Do you have any questions about this? I am happy to help you further.
All the best and a speedy recovery!
Best regards,
Dr. K. Hamann
