Valerie Mettle –
I have just been diagnosed with emphysema and started using Budicort only to give me relief from pain due to COPD. Within a week of regular use, the pain is gone and I am feeling much better. I use it 3 times daily and budesonide is doing a nice job of preventing the release of inflammatory mediators in the airways.
