budensonide could it work by just treating the toxic side effect of virus, the inflammation, but then just count on bodies resistance to eventually take care of virus? He also commented on adding antibiotic for secondary infection as well as zinc. Yes, inhalation of steroids will help subside local inflammation in the airways. That’s why Budesonide is used for asthma. I can see how it could improve shortness of breath in CoViD. But, it wouldn’t happen within minutes, the way this doc claims. And there could be a price - steroids are immune suppressors. There would be less immune participation against the virus. The immune suppression would be mostly local, since not much of the inhaled steroid will get absorbed. As it turns out, there are reasons to think that inhaled steroids have direct action against viruses, suppressing replication. This has been studied since the first SARS epidemic. This article reviews the available relevant studies. They mention that there are 4 clinical trials going on right now, one of them in the US. Also, interestingly, note that in one study a virus developed resistance to one of the steroids, after just a few exposures. cebm.net
