Hi...Budecort is an inhaled corticosteroid and it is suggested to be used in asthma and multi triggered wheeze or viral associated wheeze. Regarding continuing the medication for 2 years it depends on symptom control. If the symptoms are controlled well then it has to gradually tapered and stopped. But the symptom control is not good then the drug might even be stepped up.
