Pulmicort Turbuhaler is presented as an inhalation powder. The powder contains only budesonide. When inhaled through the mouthpiece of the inhaler, the medicine reaches the lungs.

Pulmicort Turbuhaler 100 micrograms is indicated for the maintenance treatment of asthma. However, it does not relieve an acute asthma attack once it has started. It should be used regularly, as prescribed by your doctor.

It is recommended that the dose of Pulmicort Turbuhaler be gradually reduced when stopping use of this medicine, do not stop using it abruptly.

Remember to rinse your mouth with water after each inhalation to eliminate the part of the medicine that remains in the mouth without being absorbed by the lungs, which could produce side effects.

Dosage, frequency of administration, and duration of treatment

The dose of Pulmicort Turbuhaler must be individualized. Your doctor will indicate the duration of your treatment with Pulmicort Turbuhaler. Do not administer more doses than your doctor has indicated.

Each dose of Pulmicort Turbuhaler 100 micrograms inhalation powder contains 100 micrograms of budesonide. You may require another dose of Pulmicort Turbuhaler (see section 6, “Other presentations”).

The recommended doses of Pulmicort Turbuhaler are as follows:

Normal dose

  • For adults and the elderly:100-1,600 micrograms per day, divided into 1-4 administrations.

If your doctor has prescribed low doses (100-400 micrograms per day), the daily total dose can be administered in one occasion (in the morning or at night).

  • For children 6 years of age or older:100-800 micrograms per day, divided into 1-4 administrations.

If your doctor has prescribed low doses (100-400 micrograms per day), the daily total dose can be administered in one occasion (in the morning or at night).

You may start to feel better from the first day of using Pulmicort Turbuhaler, although it may take 1 or 2 weeks to achieve a full effect. Therefore, it is essential that you do not stop using Pulmicort Turbuhaler even when you feel better.

If your doctor has prescribed Pulmicort Turbuhaler and you are still under treatment with corticosteroid tablets for asthma, your doctor may gradually reduce the dose of tablets (over a period of weeks or months) until you finally stop the previous treatment.

In the event that you have changed treatment from corticosteroid tablets to Pulmicort Turbuhaler, some symptoms of your disease may temporarily reappear, such as weakness and pain in the muscles and joints. If any of these symptoms concern you, or if you experience any other symptoms such as headache, fatigue, nausea, or vomiting, contact your doctor.
