Pulmicort is a brand name for budesonide, a corticosteroid medication used primarily to manage Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by reducing inflammation in the airways, helping to prevent asthma attacks and improve breathing. Pulmicort is typically administered via an inhaler or nebulizer and is often used as a maintenance therapy rather than a rescue medication for acute symptoms.
What else can I help you with?
Should perforomist and pulmicort be used in a nebulizer together?
Yes the two are compatible together.
What is the safest asthma medicine symbicort or pulmicort?
Both Symbicort and Pulmicort are commonly used asthma medications, but they serve different purposes. Pulmicort (budesonide) is an inhaled corticosteroid used for long-term control of asthma, while Symbicort (budesonide/formoterol) is a combination medication that includes a corticosteroid and a long-acting bronchodilator for both control and quick relief. Generally, inhaled corticosteroids like Pulmicort are considered very safe for long-term use, but the choice between the two should be made based on individual needs and under a doctor's guidance. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice on asthma management.
If your 3-year-old son needs pulmicort and abuterol can these be taken together or after his morning pulmicort do you wait 4 hours before giving him abuterol?
Yes. It just takes a little longer. Also, if your child is having an asthma attack and while on Pulmicort my Asthma MD recommended increasing his Pulmmicort as soon as his cold developes .5m 2/day...until the cold goes away. Getting that inflamtion down is key! Vics Vapor rub at night is a must also with colds...keep that mucus from settling in at night.
Can pulmicort and duonebs be mixed?
Pulmicort (budesonide) and Duoneb (a combination of albuterol and ipratropium) should not be mixed in the same nebulizer solution. Mixing them can lead to altered effectiveness and potential changes in the properties of the medications. It is recommended to administer each medication separately, allowing for optimal delivery and efficacy. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding medication administration.
Can Atrovent be mixed with pulmicort?
Yes, Atrovent (ipratropium bromide) can be mixed with Pulmicort (budesonide) in a nebulizer for simultaneous delivery in some cases. This combination is often used in the management of respiratory conditions such as asthma or COPD. However, it's important to consult a healthcare professional before mixing medications to ensure safety and efficacy. Always follow the specific guidelines provided by a healthcare provider or pharmacist.
How long do inhaled steroids such as pulmicort or asmanex stay in a child's system after they are discontinued?

Pulmacort that you take for copd cause weight gain?
Pulmicort, which contains the active ingredient budesonide, is a corticosteroid used to manage COPD. While corticosteroids can sometimes lead to weight gain, it is generally more common with systemic corticosteroids rather than inhaled forms like Pulmicort. However, individual responses can vary, and some patients may experience changes in appetite or metabolism. If you're concerned about weight gain, it's best to discuss this with your healthcare provider.

Inhalers that contain corticosteroid agents include fluticasone (Flovent), budesonide (Pulmicort), beclomethasone (Qvar), and mometasone (Asmanex). These inhalers are commonly prescribed for managing asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by reducing inflammation in the airways. They help improve breathing and decrease the frequency of asthma attacks.
Can breathing problems that are attributed to anxiety make your lungs sore and tired from always trying to get a breathe?
Breathing problems from anxiety can affect you the same way as asthma. My son has that and has been treated with ventolin pulmicort prednizone intal and we found a chiropractor gave him some relief because every bone in his body would eventually ache from his struggle for air.
Is pulmicort an antihistamine?
No, cortisone is a corticosteroid medication. Corticosteroids are normally produced by the cortex of the adrenal glands. You can take them as a medication because, as part of the endocrine system, they reduce the inflammation response, and can lessen swelling and itching. With respect to their use, they are often faster-acting and better at alleviating swelling and itching than antihistamines, and they have less side effects. However, long-term use can have negative consequences.
Can Prednisone and Benadryl be taken together?
Not really! Please avoid 2 antihistamines together, especially when not under medical supervision.
Can PULMICORT 100 micrograms inhaler be given to a four month old child?
This is a pretty powerful medication, and a four-month old child is (a) susceptible to many effects adults won't feel, and (b) they weigh lots less, so an adult dose would be extremely high for an infant. As you're asking this here, I must assume your doctor either didn't prescribe this for your infant, in which case you should NOT medicate your infant with this medication, or your doctor Did prescribe it and you have some doubts about that wisdom of this, in which case I urge you to get a second opinion. I would never administer this medication to an infant unless a doctor I wholly trusted considered the whole case history and they prescribed it.
