PULMICORT  (BUDESONIDE):  Budesonide is used to control and prevent symptoms (wheezing and shortness of breath) caused by asthma. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. It works directly in the lungs to make breathing easier by reducing the irritation and swelling of the airways. This medication must be used regularly to be effective. It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden asthma attacks. If an asthma attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler as prescribed.   FDA Approval Date: 1997-06-24 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  Asthma Tiredness to the extreme - almost fell asleep in the dentist chair during hygiene appointment. Feel depressed and have no energy. However, I have been able to motivate myself and can sleep now - the OTHER MEDS meds stimulate my heart rate and keep me up all night with anxiety. This is week one so hopefully side effects will deminish. Pulmicort does make breathing peaceful and comfortable. Peace and health be with you ~ F 35 1 weeks

 4  asthma Dry cough Easy to use, not hard to tell when canister is empty. You need to have unconstricted airways when you're using it however, because if not, you may not have the capacity to inhale deeply, thereby delivering less medication to your lungs. F 47 4 years
