Effectiveness
How Pulmicort Respules Affects PatientsBudesonide is a medication used to reduce inflammation caused by certain digestive and respiratory conditions. The amount of budesonide taken varies from person to person, making it a very safe drug. However, it can cause an increase in cortisol levels and suppress the adrenal axis, so patients must be careful to use it as prescribed.
How Pulmicort Respules works in the bodyCorticosteroids work quickly to reduce inflammation by narrowing blood vessels and stopping white blood cells from traveling to inflamed areas. They also work on a genetic level to stop inflammation from happening in the first place. Corticosteroids stop cells from dying and stop chemicals from forming that cause inflammation. Lower doses are good for reducing inflammation, while higher doses can suppress your immune system. If you take high doses for a long time, it can affect the levels of sodium and potassium in your body.
When to interrupt dosage
The extent of Pulmicort Respules is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, such as Vasomotor Rhinitis, Crohn's Disease and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The amount of dosage also changes, depending on the mode of delivery (e.g. Enema; Kit; Tablet - Rectal or Respiratory (inhalation)) mentioned in the table below.Condition

Pulmicort Respules Reviews: What are patients saying about Pulmicort Respules?
5Patient Review
9/3/2011 Although this medicine helped me use my rescue inhaler and nebulizer less, the side effects were really terrible. After taking two puffs each day for a couple months, my vision started getting blurry. My mood swings also got worse; I would blame them on PMS but they would last much longer than usual. I also gained weight without changing my habits, which was really confusing (I was previously taking prednisone and Advair).
5Patient Review
6/15/2014 Pulmicort has worked well for me in the long term to keep my asthma manageable, though it comes with some significant side effects like a dry mouth, easy bruising, and increased susceptibility to infection and illness.
5Patient Review
5/14/2016 Pulmicort does an excellent job of coating my lungs and keeping my airways from feeling irritated. After taking it, I feel completely normal and my symptoms are well controlled.
5Patient Review
9/9/2013 I use this medication in my nebulizer twice a day, and it has helped me a lot.
5Patient Review
9/3/2011 Although this medicine helped me to use my rescue inhaler and nebulizer less, the side effects were really tough to deal with. After a few months of taking two puffs each day, my vision started getting blurry and I would have terrible mood swings that lasted for weeks. I also gained weight without changing my diet or exercise habits.
5Patient Review
6/15/2014 Pulmicort has been a godsend for me, keeping my asthma at bay where other drugs have failed. The side effects are harsh, but I'll take them any day over the alternative of regular asthma attacks.
5Patient Review
9/18/2011 I found it much easier to breathe after taking this medication. It also seemed to help open up my lungs and provided fast-acting relief.
5Patient Review
5/14/2016 I found that Pulmicort really helped to soothe my lungs and control my symptoms. It's great to be able to feel normal again.
5Patient Review
1/31/2011 I've only been taking this medication for a short time, but I already think it's helping me.

1/31/2011 I've only been taking this medication for a short while, but I already notice an improvement.
5Patient Review
9/18/2011 This medication quickly and effectively opens up my lungs, making it easier to breathe. I don't experience any shaking or jitters, which is great.
4.3Patient Review
6/24/2010 I was unable to wean off of oral steroids, so my allergist increased the dose. Unfortunately, this caused me to have severe bronchial spasms and difficulty breathing. I also experienced throat swelling, lip and eye swelling, chest pain, stomach ache, skin rash, and severe itching. The mood swings and crying were also very difficult to deal with. Overall, I would not recommend this medication.

7/8/2010 My son took this medication when he was younger and it really didn't seem to help him that much. In fact, he seemed to swell up and retain fluid more often, and he was sick all of the time. We stopped giving it to him and now his asthma only flares up every once in a while.
4Patient Review
7/8/2010 My son took this medication when he was younger and it really seemed to help his asthma. However, the side effects were pretty severe; he retained fluid and was constantly sick. We stopped giving it to him and now his asthma only flares up every once in a while.

12/21/2010 This didn't work well for me.

12/21/2010 I wasn't impressed with this treatment.
2.7Patient Review
3/19/2011 My blood pressure increased while I was on this medication, and returned to normal when I stopped taking it. I asked my doctor if we could try something else, but he insisted that I keep using the Pulmicort. So, for now, I'll only use it in short bursts when I'm desperate for relief.
2.7Patient Review
3/19/2011 My blood pressure increased while on this medication, but returned to normal when I stopped taking it. When asking my doctor for alternatives, he told me to keep using the Pulmicort. I only use it sporadically now whenever I'm desperate for relief.

3/23/2010 Pulmicort did the opposite of what it was supposed to do for me. After two weeks of use, I ended up in the hospital with worse breathing problems. My doctor said it was just a coincidence, but I strongly disagree. I switched to Advair and have been doing much better ever since.
1.7Patient Review
3/23/2010 I was on Pulmicort for two weeks, and my breathing got worse and worse until I ended up in the hospital. My doctor said it was just chance that it worked out that way, but I have to agree to disagree with her on that one. I switched to Advair, despite the warnings, and am doing better than I have in years.
1.3Patient Review
6/4/2010 My granddaughter has been on this medication for over a year now, and we've seen very little improvement. If anything, she seems to be sick more often than before. We have to take her to the doctor every other week and use more albuterol than pulmicort. I would not recommend this medication to anyone.
1.3Patient Review
6/4/2010 My granddaughter has been on this medication for over a year now, and we have to see the doctor every other week. We use more albuterol than pulmicort, and she is always put on prednisone along with the albuterol. This medication is not controlling her asthma at all.
