Be proactive. PULMICORT RESPULES helps control inflammation of persistent asthma

PULMICORT RESPULES helps achieve control across the spectrum of persistent asthma. Consider PULMICORT RESPULES for Preemptive Control, before symptoms start or worsen, for Symptomatic Control, when symptoms are present or for Maintaining Control, after patients are asymptomatic.

Choose the dose and frequency of administration based on your patient’s prior treatment...then titrate as appropriate as you continue long-term controller therapy.

Indication and Important Safety Information

PULMICORT RESPULES is indicated for the maintenance treatment of asthma and as prophylactic therapy in children ages 12 months to 8 years.

PULMICORT RESPULES is not a bronchodilator and is NOT indicated for the relief of acute bronchospasm.

Common adverse events reported in clinical trials, regardless of relationship to treatment, included respiratory infection, rhinitis, coughing, otitis media, viral infection, gastroenteritis, ear infection, oral thrush/candidiasis, and epistaxis.

Inhaled corticosteroids may cause a reduction in growth velocity. The long-term effect on final adult height is unknown.

PULMICORT RESPULES, like other inhaled corticosteroids, may impact the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, especially in susceptible individuals, in young children, and in patients given high doses for prolonged periods.

Particular care is needed for patients who are transferred from systemically active corticosteroids to less systemically available corticosteroids, because deaths due to adrenal insufficiency have occurred in asthmatic patients during and after transfer from systemic corticosteroids (see WARNINGS in full Prescribing Information).

Patients taking immunosuppressant doses of corticosteroids should avoid exposure to infections such as chicken pox and measles.
