Buprine 200 has the main ingredient is Budesonide 200mcg/dose. Budesonide is a corticosteroid: Inhaled glucocorticoid. Budesonide has obvious anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. As with other corticosteroids, budesonide reduces the inflammatory response by reducing prostaglandin synthesis by activating phospholipase A2. Corticosteroids increase the concentration of certain membrane phospholipids that inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. These drugs also increase levels of lipocortin, (a protein that reduces the phospholipid substrates of phospholipase A2). Corticosteroids reduce capillary permeability by inhibiting the activity of kinins and bacterial endotoxins and by reducing the amount of histamine secreted by basophils.
