Description
Indication: Pulmicort Nebulizing Solution is primarily indicated for the maintenance treatment of asthma as prophylactic therapy in adults and children aged 12 months and older. It is not used to relieve acute asthma symptoms and should not be used as a rescue medication for sudden asthma attacks.
Mechanism of Action: Budesonide, the active ingredient in Pulmicort Nebulizing Solution, is a corticosteroid. It works by reducing inflammation in the airways, which helps to prevent asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.

The recommended dose is usually administered once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare provider.
Administration: Pulmicort Nebulizing Solution should be administered via a jet nebulizer connected to an air compressor. The suspension should be mixed according to the instructions provided with the nebulizer device. The nebulization treatment typically takes about 10-15 minutes to complete.
Please consult with a healthcare practitioner before starting any new medication.
