How PULMICORT RESPULES Works
PULMICORT RESPULES is a preventive medicine which helps to keep the inflammation
in your child’s airways down, preventing asthma symptoms and attacks before
they happen. It is not a quick-relief medicine and should not be used
to treat an acute asthma attack.
PULMICORT RESPULES is an inhaled corticosteroid that not only keeps this
inflammation down but also helps decrease swelling of the airways. In fact, the
National Institutes of Health recommends using inhaled corticosteroids to
prevent asthma symptoms in children. This is important because the NIH is one
of the world’s foremost research centers that develops and recommends treatment
guidelines for various conditions, like asthma, based on extensive research and
practice.
PULMICORT RESPULES is given through a nebulizer, or breathing machine, as a mist
that goes straight to your child’s lungs. They just simply breathe in the
medicine through a face mask. This helps young children who would have a
problem using an inhaler or swallowing something.
