Product Introduction

Iganef 3mg Tablet contains budesonide, a synthetic glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. It is used to prevent asthma attacks and reduce reliance on rescue inhalers. During treatment, your healthcare provider will monitor your symptoms and conduct periodic blood tests to assess efficacy and identify any potential side effects. For patients with inflammatory bowel disease, dietary modifications may be recommended as part of your management plan. Iganef 3mg Tablet is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity or allergy to budesonide or any component of the formulation. In patients treated for asthma or allergies, allergy testing may be recommended to identify triggers and inform treatment strategy. Before starting this medication, inform your healthcare provider of any active infections (viral, bacterial, or fungal), recent tuberculosis or respiratory infection exposure, diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, or glaucoma. Iganef 3mg Tablet is approved for paediatric use from six months of age for asthma and allergic rhinitis. In older adults, it is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other respiratory conditions.
