Getting Started on PULMICORT RESPULES

Is it time for your child to start using an asthma controller medication? For children with asthma using a rescue inhaler more than two or three times a week, it may be a good idea to talk to a doctor about adding PULMICORT RESPULES, an FDA-approved asthma controller medication created just for kids. Although using an asthma medication every day may seem a little overwhelming, PULMICORT RESPULES has the following benefits.

  • Reduces inflammation in the lungs and helps prevent asthma symptoms that can lead to an attack
  • By breathing through a nebulizer, the medicine goes to your child’s lungs
  • Available in a once-or-twice-daily dosing option

It’s important to remember that because they aren’t intended to provide fast relief asthma controller medications should not be used to treat sudden symptoms.

“We find that taking time out of our life to use a nebulizer is easier than being awake at night taking care of your child’s asthma symptoms.”
