Uses of Generic Pulmicort (Budecort by Cipla)

Generic Pulmicort is used to prevent asthma attacks and not to treat an asthma attack that has already begun. It works by decreasing irritation and swelling in the airways, which helps to control or prevent asthma symptoms. It contains budesonide which is a corticosteroid. Budesonide prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation.

Budecort Inhaler - Dosage

The dosage of Budecort Inhaler (Generic Pulmicort) is given below:
Adults (including elderly) and children over 12 years:
200 mcg to 1,600 mcg daily, in divided doses.
200 mcg twice daily, in the morning and in the evening. During periods of severe asthma the daily dosage can be increased up to 1600 mcg.
In patients with well controlled asthma, the daily dose can be reduced below 400 mcg but should not go below 200 mcg.
Patients should be maintained on the lowest dose that will effectively control symptoms.

Children (2 - 12 years):
200 mcg to 800 mcg daily, in divided doses.
The dose should be reduced to the minimum necessary to maintain good asthma control. The patient should be transferred to once daily dosing at the same equivalent total daily dose. The dose should subsequently be decreased to the minimum needed to maintain good asthma control.
Patients should be instructed to take the once daily dose in the evening. It is important that the dose is taken consistently and at the same time each evening.
Patients, specially those receiving once daily treatment, should be advised that if their asthma deteriorates (e.g. increased frequency of bronchodilator use or persistent respiratory symptoms) they should double their steroid dose, by administering it twice daily, and should inform their doctor as soon as possible.

Budecort Inhaler During Pregnancy

Budesonide (Budecort Inhaler) is classified by the US FDA as Pregnancy Category B.
Several studies of pregnant women and from worldwide post marketing experience, have not shown that inhaled budesonide increases the risk of abnormalities when inhaled budesonide is administered during pregnancy.
In animal studies, glucocorticosteroids have been shown to induce malformations. This is unlikely to be relevant for humans given recommended doses, but therapy with inhaled budesonide should be regularly reviewed and maintained at the lowest effective dose.
Hypoadrenalism can occur in infants born of mothers receiving corticosteroids during pregnancy. Such babies should be carefully observed.
Use of Budecort Inhaler during pregnancy requires that the benefits for the mother be weighed against the risks for the foetus. Budecort Inhaler should only be used during pregnancy if the expected benefits outweigh the potential risks. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment.

Budecort Inhaler During Breastfeeding

Budesonide, like other corticosteroids, is secreted in human milk. Studies with budesonide delivered via dry powder inhaler indicates that the total daily oral dose of budesonide available in breast milk to the infant is approximately 0.3% to 1% of the dose inhaled by the mother. Use Budecort Inhaler immediately after breastfeeding to maximize the time interval between dosing and breastfeeding to minimize infant exposure.
Do not use this medicine without telling your doctor if you are breastfeeding a baby. This medicine can affect the growth in children. Talk with your doctor if you think your child is not growing at a normal rate while using this medication.
