What Is Pulmicort?
Pulmicort® (budesonide inhalation) is a prescription medication used to prevent asthma attacks. It comes in two forms — the Pulmicort Flexhaler® (a special kind of inhaler) and Pulmicort Respules® that are inhaled using a nebulizer (a device that changes liquid medications into fine droplets that are inhaled into the lungs). The Pulmicort Flexhaler has replaced the Pulmicort Turbuhaler®, which is no longer manufactured.
