Pulmicom Suspension for Nebulization (Budesonide)

Adult use

This drug should be administered using a suitable nebulizer. The dose delivered to the patient is approximately 40~60% of the labeled dose and varies depending on the nebulizer used. The nebulization time and dose depend on the flow rate, nebulizer chamber, and fill volume; an appropriate fill volume for most nebulizers is 2~4 milliliters. Bronchial asthma — At initiation of inhalation therapy, during treatment of severe asthma, or when reducing or discontinuing oral corticosteroids: Adults; administer 1～2 milligrams (2 vials～4 vials) twice daily Bronchial asthma — Maintenance dose: This varies by individual and should be administered at the lowest possible dose. The recommended maintenance dose is as follows. Adults; administer 0.5～1 milligram (1 vial～2 vials) twice daily For patients seeking to enhance the therapeutic effect, increasing the dose of this drug is generally preferable to combination therapy with oral corticosteroids, as it carries a lower risk of systemic adverse effects. In particular, when there is no mucus secretion in the airways, it is preferable to administer this drug before administering oral corticosteroids.

Child use

Bronchial asthma — At initiation of inhalation therapy, during treatment of severe asthma, or when reducing or discontinuing oral corticosteroids: Children; administer 0.5～1 milligram (1 vial～2 vials) twice daily Bronchial asthma — Maintenance dose: Children; administer 0.25～0.5 milligram (½ vial～1 vial) twice daily Acute laryngotracheobronchitis — In infants and young children, administer 2 mg once daily.

This medication contains the ingredient budesonide, which is used to alleviate asthma or bronchial inflammation. Individuals allergic to any components in this medication or to budesonide should not use it. Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis or fungal and viral infections should exercise special caution when using this drug, and patients dependent on steroids should gradually adjust the dosage under a doctor's guidance. Side effects such as sore throat, oral inflammation, dry mouth, cough, hoarseness, and oral candidiasis may occur; therefore, rinsing the mouth well after use is essential. Rarely, symptoms like headache, taste abnormalities, skin rash, bronchospasm, anxiety, or depression can occur, so consult a doctor if any abnormal symptoms arise. This medication is not suitable for rapid relief of asthma symptoms and should generally be used alongside other treatments rather than alone. When switching from oral steroids to this medication, it is crucial to follow the doctor's directions, as adrenal function recovery may take time. Appropriate antibiotic treatment may be necessary in cases of infection, and care should be taken not to worsen infection symptoms. Always consult a doctor or pharmacist before stopping or changing the dosage of this medication. While no significant risks to the fetus have been reported during pregnancy, it is important to consult a doctor before use. It is relatively safe during breastfeeding, but the benefits and risks should be weighed. If used in children, the minimal effective dose should be used, and their growth should be monitored regularly to prevent impact on growth. While overdose often does not exhibit special symptoms, prolonged excessive use may lead to issues such as adrenal suppression, so caution is advised. After inhalation, wash the mouth and face with water to prevent candidiasis infection, and do not use the medication if it is not adequately mixed. This drug is for inhalation use only and should not be ingested or injected.
