Is Your Child’s Asthma Under Control?

Is Your Child’s Asthma Under Control?

The controller medicine our doctor recommended was Pulmicort Respules® (budesonide inhalation suspension). I like it because it’s made just for kids 12 months to 8 years of age and it helps prevent asthma symptoms before they start. Before I need to run to her room in the middle of the night. Before she wakes up coughing. Now that’s better control than before.

But, he reminded me PULMICORT RESPULES is not a quick relief medication and should NOT be used to treat an acute asthma attack.

PULMICORT RESPULES, an inhaled corticosteroid, is not a quick-relief medication and should NOT be used to treat an acute (sudden) asthma attack.
