The number needed to treat with inhaled budesonide to reduce COVID-19-related urgent care or hospitalisation was eight
Although, clinical benefits of budesonide in COVID-19 patients is not well established but speeding recovery and reduction in hospitalizations of early COVID-19 cases followed by inhaled budesonide can reduce current pressure on health care systems which is already collapsed in most of the developing
However, it added that “corticosteroids can potentially affect wellbeing without affecting the COVID-19 disease process”
Methods: PRINCIPLE is a multicentre, open-label, multi-arm, randomised, controlled, adaptive platform trial done remotely
First, inhaled corticosteroids (including budesonide) have been used successfully for decades to downregulate the excessive inflammation that characterises several chronic airway diseases such as asthma and COPD,2, 3 so it is plausible that inhaled budesonide might have contributed to control the

Maximum dose: 720 mcg twice a day
Inhaled corticosteroids may lower the number of days people have symptoms of mild COVID-19 and probably increase resolution of COVID-19 symptoms at day 14
Treatment options for COVID-19, a disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, are currently severely limited
The trial was done in the community in
