Budesonide Powder


Generic Name: Budesonide Inhalation Powder (byoo-DESS-oh-nide)
Brand Name: Pulmicort Turbuhaler

Use caution if you switch from an oral steroid (eg, prednisone) to Budesonide Powder. It may take several months for your body to make enough natural steroids to handle events that cause physical stress. Such events may include injury, surgery, infection, loss of blood electrolytes, or a sudden asthma attack. These may be severe and sometimes fatal. Contact your doctor right away if any of these events occur. You may need to take an oral steroid (eg, prednisone) again.

Carry a card at all times that says you may need an oral steroid (eg, prednisone) if any of these events occur.


Budesonide Powder is used for:

Preventing asthma in adults and children 6 years of age or older. It may also be used in patients who require oral corticosteroid medicine. It is not used to relieve an asthma attack. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Budesonide Powder is an inhaled corticosteroid. It works by decreasing the irritation and swelling of the breathing tubes (bronchioles) of the lung to control or prevent asthma symptoms.

Do NOT use Budesonide Powder if:

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Budesonide Powder
