Pulmicort 200mcg Inhaler 100mdi contains budesonide (0.2 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Anti-inflammatory action: Budesonide binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the lungs, which helps suppress the production of inflammatory substances in the airways.

• Inflammatory cell reduction: It decreases the recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells in the lungs, which would otherwise contribute to airway narrowing and breathing difficulties.

• Mucus regulation: The medicine helps reduce excessive mucus production in the airways, making breathing easier for people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

• Airway stabilisation: By reducing inflammation, budesonide helps prevent the narrowing of airways, allowing for better airflow to and from the lungs.

• Store at room temperature below 25°C.

• Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Do not freeze the inhaler.

• Store out of reach of children and pets.

• Check the expiry date before use and discard the product if it has expired.

• Maintain an allergen-free home environment by regularly dusting, vacuuming, and using air purifiers to reduce airway irritants that can trigger asthma symptoms.

• Include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (like fatty fish and flaxseeds) in your diet, as they have anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce airway inflammation in asthma.
