What is Pulmicort?

Pulmicort is a type of inhaler known as a 'turbohaler'. It helps lower the chance of experiencing asthma symptoms and prevents asthma attacks.

Asthma is a widespread long-term condition that affects the lungs. It can make breathing difficult and lead to coughing, wheezing, a tight feeling in the chest, and shortness of breath. This happens because your airways become narrower and swollen, affecting airflow to your lungs. Additionally, extra mucus may be produced, further narrowing the airways. While some people have only mild symptoms, others can face severe and potentially life-threatening issues. Symptoms might appear unexpectedly or when you're exposed to certain triggers like allergies, exercise, infections, pollution, smoke, and cold air.

Asthma can't be cured, but there are effective treatments for managing the symptoms. In children, asthma may sometimes get better, but it can come back in adulthood. With the right treatment, you can live a normal life and go about your daily activities without major issues.

Pulmicort helps manage and prevent asthma symptoms. Unlike traditional inhalers, you don't need to press a button to use it. As a 'preventer' medication, it's important to use it daily, rather than just when you need it.

In clinical trials, budesonide, which is the active ingredient in Pulmicort, has been found to enhance lung function just a few hours after a single dose. However, it may take up to four weeks of regular use to achieve its full benefit.

How does Pulmicort work?

Pulmicort contains budesonide as its active ingredient. This is a type of corticosteroid medicine often used to treat asthma. It works by blocking chemicals released by the immune system when you're affected by an asthma trigger. This helps to reduce inflammation and risk. It also stops mucus from forming.

Asthma impacts over 300 million people globally. In children, boys are more often affected, but in adults, it's more prevalent among women. It can run in families, especially if there's a history of allergies or smoking.

You can use Pulmicort once or twice a day, inhaling one or two puffs each time. It's a maintenance treatment, meaning it helps manage symptoms when used regularly over time. It won't be effective during a sudden asthma attack, so you'll need a different rescue treatment for those situations.

What doses of Pulmicort are there?

Pulmicort comes in three different strengths: 100mcg, 200mcg, and 400mcg. The dose you need will depend on how severe your condition is and your symptoms. Our clinician will recommend the right dose for you. It's important to stick to the dosage you've been prescribed.

Patients often notice that asthma can vary over time, so treatment might need to be modified.

How long does it take Pulmicort to work?

How quickly Pulmicort starts working can vary based on your individual situation, condition, and dosage. Generally, it should begin to help prevent symptoms within the first 24 hours. However, it might take four to six weeks for inflammation to decrease and for you to feel the full benefits. It's important to use the treatment regularly to effectively manage your symptoms. You may still have asthma attacks, but they should happen less often.

What should I do if I make a mistake when using Pulmicort?

It's crucial to stick to the instructions from your clinician. If you forget to take Pulmicort, you can take it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next dose. If that's the case, just skip the missed dose.

You may not feel the medication entering your lungs when you use the inhaler, but it generally does. So, be sure not to take another dose, even if you think it hasn't reached your lungs.

If you've taken more than you should but aren't noticing any unusual side effects, you probably won't need to see a doctor. The primary effect is that it dampens the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) function, which is your body's stress response system. However, if you start feeling unwell, it's important to get medical help.

Do I need a prescription for Pulmicort?

You'll need a prescription to buy Pulmicort. It's crucial for our clinician to review your medical history to ensure Pulmicort is safe for you to use.

Which dose of Pulmicort should I use?

The amount of medicine you need will depend on how serious your condition is. Sometimes, our clinician might suggest beginning with a smaller dose to observe how it affects you. If you don't notice any improvement, they may increase the dose.

If you're already on a higher dose of 200mcg and it's been working for you, you'll probably need to continue with it and have your condition checked regularly. It's crucial to speak with a clinician who can guide you on the most suitable dose for your needs.

Is Pulmicort similar to any other treatments?

There are other generic treatments available that also contain Budesonide as the active ingredient. They function in a similar manner to help manage and prevent asthma symptoms. However, since they're produced by different manufacturers, the price and packaging might vary.

How is Pulmicort different from other treatments for asthma?

Pulmicort is an asthma medication that's taken regularly over time to help manage symptoms and prevent asthma attacks. Depending on your condition, you might also need another inhaler for sudden asthma attacks. Pulmicort comes as a turbohaler, which means you don't have to press a button to get your dose, making it a more convenient choice compared to some other treatments.

Important Information

Pulmicort isn't right for everyone, and there are a few things you should keep in mind when using it.

Here's all the official information on it. If anything isn't clear, just let our clinician know, and they can discuss it with you.

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch. These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds. The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!

My dogs favorite balls
Size: Medium
These are great for my dog who always has to have a ball in her mouth. Not too hard so I don't have to worry about her teeth. They last for ever. They do lose their shape a little over time (like I said, she always has a ball in her mouth) they become a little oval in shape. They still bounce, she still chases it and she still chews on it so I don't think she notices or cares. I've gotten her a bag full of these over time and I have only seen one that she chewed a chunk out.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.
