How to Use Pulmicort Flexhaler (Budesonide)?

Follow your doctor’s prescription exactly.

Pulmicort Flexhaler (budesonide) is typically used twice daily for managing asthma. This medication comes as a dry powder in an inhaler and is inhaled orally. Dosage may vary based on your condition and response to treatment.

Before using a new inhaler, read the medication guide and consult your doctor or pharmacist with any questions. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling the device. Remove the inhaler’s protective cover by twisting the bottom. For first-time use, prime the inhaler by twisting the grip fully to the right, then fully back to the left until it clicks. Repeat this step.

To load a dose, hold the inhaler upright, twist the grip fully to the right, and then back to the left until it clicks. Turn your head away and exhale completely. Do not exhale into the inhaler. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth, seal your lips tightly around it, and inhale deeply and forcefully. Remove the inhaler, hold your breath for about 10 seconds, and exhale away from the device.

If you need a second puff, wait 1 minute and repeat the steps, including loading the dose. After use, replace the cover securely, rinse your mouth with water, and spit it out to prevent side effects.

Use Pulmicort Flexhaler at the same time daily for the best results. Do not exceed the prescribed dose or frequency. Monitor the dose indicator on the inhaler and dispose of it once the red mark reaches the bottom. Keep the inhaler dry, clean, and covered when not in use.
