Pulmicort Flexhaler Overview
Budesonide is used to control and prevent symptoms (wheezing and shortness of breath) caused by asthma. Pulmicort Flexhaler belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It works directly in the lungs to make breathing easier by reducing the irritation and swelling of the airways. Pulmicort Flexhaler must be used regularly to be effective. It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden asthma attacks. If an asthma attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler as prescribed.
How to Use Pulmicort Flexhaler
Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using Pulmicort Flexhaler and each time you get a refill. Follow the illustrated directions for the proper use of Pulmicort Flexhaler. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Do not shake Pulmicort Flexhaler, and do not use a spacer with it. Hold the device upright while using. If the inhaler device is dropped or shaken, or if you accidentally breathe into the device after the dose has been loaded, you will lose the dose. Load another dose. Do not use the inhaler if it has been damaged or if the mouthpiece has come off. Inhale Pulmicort Flexhaler by mouth, usually once or twice daily or as directed by your doctor. Inhale deeply and forcefully while using the device. Turn your mouth away from the device to breathe out before inhaling. Do not exhale back into the device. If your prescribed dose is 2 puffs, wait at least one minute between them. If you are using other inhalers at the same time, wait at least 1 minute between the use of each medication, and use Pulmicort Flexhaler (the corticosteroid) last. To prevent dry mouth, hoarseness, and oral yeast infections from developing, gargle, rinse your mouth with water and spit out after each use. Do not swallow the rinse water. Keep track of each dose of medication you use. Discard the device after it has delivered the labeled number of doses or when the red mark reaches the bottom of the dose indicator window. The Dosage of Pulmicort Flexhaler is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Use Pulmicort Flexhaler regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time(s) each day. Do not increase your dose or use Pulmicort Flexhaler more often or for longer than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase. Learn which of your inhalers you should use every day (controller drugs) and which you should use if your breathing suddenly worsens (quick-relief drugs). Ask your doctor ahead of time what you should do if you have new or worsening cough or shortness of breath, wheezing, increased sputum, worsening peak flow meter readings, waking up at night with trouble breathing, if you use your quick-relief inhaler more often (more than 2 days a week), or if your quick-relief inhaler does not seem to be working well. Learn when you can treat sudden breathing problems by yourself and when you must get medical help right away. If you are regularly taking a different corticosteroid by mouth (such as prednisone), you should not stop taking it unless directed by your doctor. Some conditions (such as asthma, allergies) may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped. If you suddenly stop taking the drug, you may also have withdrawal symptoms (such as weakness, weight loss, nausea, muscle pain, headache, tiredness, dizziness). To help prevent withdrawal, your doctor may slowly lower the dose of your old medication after you begin using budesonide. Tell your doctor or pharmacist right away if you have withdrawal. See also Precautions section. You may notice a benefit within 24 hours of starting Pulmicort Flexhaler. It may take 1-2 weeks before the full benefit of Pulmicort Flexhaler takes effect. Tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they worsen.
