Pulmicort is a synthetic glucocorticosteroid of inhalation use. Used in the treatment of bronchial asthma, affects all parts of the pathological process. Affects glucocorticosteroid receptors, reduces the production of cytokines. It has a bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory effect. It penetrates through the layer of mucous secretion in the bronchi, is distributed to the tissues, creating elevated concentrations in the lungs.
- Indications for use: bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The drug is used inhalation using a nebulizer or vial inhaler. Dosage and duration of treatment are individual for each patient and are determined by the attending physician.
