What is Pulmicort Turbuhaler?

Pulmicort Turbuhaler (Budesonide) is a medication used to control and prevent the symptoms of asthma such as wheezing and shortness of breath. Pulmicort is a corticosteroid which works directly in the lungs reducing irritation and swelling of the airways to make breathing easier. Pulmicort must be used regularly to be effective and is not a quick relief inhaler.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication.

• Inhale your medication orally. It is typically taken once or twice a day. Inhale deeply and forcefully while using this device. Do not exhale back into the device. If your prescribed dose is two puffs, then you should wait at least one minute between puffs. If you use any other inhalers, wait at least one minute between different medications.
