Pulmicort is not designed as a general-purpose quick-relief medicine for sudden asthma attacks. Budesonide is a corticosteroid used as part of ongoing respiratory management, while sudden asthma symptoms may require a separate short-acting bronchodilator as prescribed.
Why It Is Suitable for Respiratory Care
Pulmicort delivers budesonide through a nebuliser, converting the suspension into a fine mist that can be inhaled through a suitable face mask or mouthpiece. This delivery method can be useful for patients for whom other inhaler formulations are unsuitable or inappropriate.
The medicine should be used exactly as directed by a doctor or pharmacist. It should not be treated as an over-the-counter substitute for professional respiratory care.
