AsthmaKidCare™ Program

AsthmaKidCare™ Program

When Ben’s doctor told us about PULMICORT RESPULES, I started looking around online for information. That’s when I came across a program called AsthmaKidCare™; it’s designed for people like me to help our kids with asthma. It was created by AstraZeneca, the makers of PULMICORT RESPULES. AsthmaKidCare is full of advice, tips, games for Ben, and believe it or not some ideas on making nebulizing fun.

And they even send me a newsletter to help me understand asthma and how Ben and I can prevent his symptoms. If your child has breathing problems or asthma, sign up for the AsthmaKidCare program—it’s a great resource and it’s designed just for you.

PULMICORT RESPULES is developed and approved specifically for children 12 months to 8 years of age, to help prevent asthma symptoms that could lead to an attack. PULMICORT RESPULES, an inhaled corticosteroid, is not a quick-relief medication and should NOT be used to treat an acute (sudden) asthma attack.

Important Safety Information you should know

PULMICORT RESPULES, an inhaled corticosteroid, is not a quick-relief medication and should NOT be used to treat an acute asthma attack. In studies, side effects included respiratory infection, runny nose, earache, and coughing. Inhaled corticosteroids may cause a reduction in growth rate. The long-term effect on final adult height is unknown. If switching to PULMICORT RESPULES from an oral (syrup or pill) corticosteroid, follow the doctor's instructions to help avoid health risks.
