What Is Budesonide 1mg/2mL?
Budesonide is a corticosteroid medication that reduces inflammation in the lungs. The 1mg/2mL Pulmicort Respules formulation is delivered by jet nebulizer and is FDA-approved for maintenance treatment of asthma in children 12 months to 8 years of age. It is a controller medicine taken regularly, not a rescue inhaler, and it does not relieve sudden breathing problems. Budesonide inhalation may take 2 to 8 days to begin improving symptoms, with maximum benefit in 4 to 6 weeks.
