Budesonide
Indications/Uses
Respules: PULMICORT RESPULES contain the potent non-halogenated corticosteroid budesonide for use in bronchial asthma in patients where use of a pressurized inhaler or dry powder formulation is unsatisfactory or inappropriate.
PULMICORT RESPULES can be used for the treatment of acute laryngotracheobronchitis (croup) in infants and children.
PULMICORT RESPULES can be used in patients with exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in persons without signs of acute respiratory insufficiency.
Dosage/Direction for Use
Bronchial Asthma: PULMICORT RESPULES should be administered from a suitable nebuliser. The dose delivered to the patient varies between 40-60% of the nominal dose depending on the nebulising equipment used. The nebulisation time and the dose delivered are dependent on flow rate, volume of nebuliser chamber and volume fill. A suitable fill for most nebulisers is 2-4mL.
Some sedimentation may occur during storage of PULMICORT RESPULES. If this does not readily resuspend completely upon shaking, the RESPULE should be discarded..
