Medical Description

Pulmicort oral inhaler is used to prevent asthma symptoms and control inflammation in the airways. It contains budesonide, a corticosteroid medicine that reduces swelling and irritation inside the breathing tubes. By reducing inflammation and the release of substances that narrow the airways, it helps air move more freely. Pulmicort oral inhaler is breathed through the mouth into the lungs and must be used regularly as prescribed. It controls asthma over time but does not provide rapid relief during a sudden asthma attack.

Uses

  • Asthma control: Pulmicort oral inhaler reduces airway inflammation and swelling to help prevent wheezing, cough and breathing difficulty.

Contraindications

If you are allergic to any ingredient of this medicine, do not use it. Do not use Pulmicort oral inhaler as the only treatment for a sudden severe asthma attack. Tell your doctor before use if you have tuberculosis, a chest infection, glaucoma, cataracts, osteoporosis, diabetes, liver disease or previous steroid treatment.

Side effects

  • Oral thrush: Budesonide may allow a fungal infection in the mouth, causing white patches, soreness or an altered taste. Rinse and spit after use and contact your doctor if patches appear.
  • Hoarse voice: Inhaled medicine may irritate the voice box and change your voice. Rinse your mouth after use and report persistent hoarseness.
  • Throat irritation: Cough or soreness may occur shortly after inhalation. Seek urgent advice if breathing becomes worse after using the inhaler.
  • Growth slowing: Children using inhaled corticosteroids may grow more slowly. Their height should be checked regularly by the treating doctor.

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or trying to conceive. Use Pulmicort oral inhaler only as advised, since controlled asthma is important during pregnancy.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding. Budesonide may be used when prescribed, but your doctor should review the treatment.

Directions for Use

Use Pulmicort oral inhaler only by inhaling through your mouth into your lungs. Follow the instructions for the inhaler device shown to you by your doctor or pharmacist. Do not breathe the medicine through your nose. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after use. Pulmicort oral inhaler does not provide quick relief during a sudden asthma attack. Do not stop regular treatment without medical advice.

Storage and disposal

Store Pulmicort oral inhaler as directed on its pack, away from heat, moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it out of the reach of children. Do not use it after the expiry date. Dispose of the inhaler according to pharmacist guidance.

Quick Tips

  • Use Pulmicort oral inhaler regularly even when you have no asthma symptoms.
  • Rinse your mouth and spit after inhaling to reduce the chance of oral thrush.
  • Keep a quick-relief inhaler available if your doctor has prescribed one.
  • Ask your pharmacist to check your inhaler technique.
  • Seek urgent help if breathing suddenly becomes severe or does not improve with your reliever inhaler.

Dosage

Overdose

Too much Pulmicort oral inhaler may cause worsening steroid effects or breathing symptoms. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

The active ingredient, budesonide, is a corticosteroid that calms inflammation inside the breathing tubes. This reduces swelling and the release of substances that narrow the airways, helping air move more freely. Its benefit builds with regular use rather than providing immediate relief during a sudden attack.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Pulmicort oral inhaler works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, other corticosteroids, medicines for fungal infections, medicines used to treat human immunodeficiency virus infection and medicines that strongly affect liver enzymes may increase budesonide exposure or add to steroid effects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Pulmicort inhaler is used regularly to control asthma by reducing inflammation and swelling in the airways.
No. It is a controller inhaler, not a quick-relief inhaler. Use the reliever prescribed by your doctor for sudden symptoms.
Rinsing and spitting helps reduce the chance of oral thrush and throat irritation.
It is not recommended for children younger than 6 years. Children between 6 and 12 years should use it only when prescribed and monitored.
Do not stop regular treatment without medical advice, because airway inflammation may return before symptoms are noticed.
Get urgent medical help if breathing suddenly worsens, wheezing increases or the face and throat swell.
