PULMICORT RESPULES was Created Especially for Kids
PULMICORT RESPULES was created especially for kids. It’s the only asthma medicine that’s been proven effective
for children as young as 12 months.
It’s been helping children with asthma for over 7 years in the United States, and with flexible dosing,
your doctor can prescribe the right amount for your child’s specific needs.
PULMICORT RESPULES is a type of corticosteroid, and that may concern a parent. When they hear the word “steroid”
they think about professional athletes, not children. Well these are corticosteroids which are VERY different from
anabolic steroids we’ve heard about in the news that athletes abuse. In fact, corticosteroids are similar to a
hormone called cortisol, which occurs naturally in the body.
And like any medication there can be side effects. In studies, side effects were similar to those taking a
placebo and included respiratory infection, runny nose, coughing, earache, viral infection, stomachaches, oral
thrush, and nosebleeds. If your child is switching to PULMICORT RESPULES from an oral corticosteroid in the form
of a syrup or pill, follow the doctor’s instructions to help avoid health risks. Also, tell the doctor if your
child is exposed to chicken pox or measles.
