Pulmicort Description
Pulmicort is a preventer inhaler used to manage asthma.
It's a steroid medication that helps reduce inflammation in the airways of the lungs.
It's a Turbohaler device that's activated by your breath, which makes it easier to use.

What is Pulmicort?

Pulmicort is a type of inhaler known as a 'turbohaler'. It helps lower the chance of experiencing asthma symptoms and prevents asthma attacks.

Asthma is a widespread long-term condition that affects the lungs. It can make breathing difficult and lead to coughing, wheezing, a tight feeling in the chest, and shortness of breath. This happens because your airways become narrower and swollen, affecting airflow to your lungs. Additionally, extra mucus may be produced, further narrowing the airways. While some people have only mild symptoms, others can face severe and potentially life-threatening issues. Symptoms might appear unexpectedly or when you're exposed to certain triggers like allergies, exercise, infections, pollution, smoke, and cold air.

Asthma can't be cured, but there are effective treatments for managing the symptoms. In children, asthma may sometimes get better, but it can come back in adulthood. With the right treatment, you can live a normal life and go about your daily activities without major issues.

Pulmicort helps manage and prevent asthma symptoms. Unlike traditional inhalers, you don't need to press a button to use it. As a 'preventer' medication, it's important to use it daily, rather than just when you need it.

In clinical trials, budesonide, which is the active ingredient in Pulmicort, has been found to enhance lung function just a few hours after a single dose. However, it may take up to four weeks of regular use to achieve its full benefit.

How does Pulmicort work?

Pulmicort contains budesonide as its active ingredient. This is a type of corticosteroid medicine often used to treat asthma. It works by blocking chemicals released by the immune system when you're affected by an asthma trigger. This helps to reduce inflammation and risk. It also stops mucus from forming.

Asthma impacts over 300 million people globally. In children, boys are more often affected, but in adults, it's more prevalent among women. It can run in families, especially if there's a history of allergies or smoking.

You can use Pulmicort once or twice a day, inhaling one or two puffs each time. It's a maintenance treatment, meaning it helps manage symptoms when used regularly over time. It won't be effective during a sudden asthma attack, so you'll need a different rescue treatment for those situations.

What doses of Pulmicort are there?

Pulmicort comes in three different strengths: 100mcg, 200mcg, and 400mcg. The dose you need will depend on how severe your condition is and your symptoms. Our clinician will recommend the right dose for you. It's important to stick to the dosage you've been prescribed.

Patients often notice that asthma can vary over time, so treatment might need to be modified.

How long does it take Pulmicort to work?

How quickly Pulmicort starts working can vary based on your individual situation, condition, and dosage. Generally, it should begin to help prevent symptoms within the first 24 hours. However, it might take four to six weeks for inflammation to decrease and for you to feel the full benefits. It's important to use the treatment regularly to effectively manage your symptoms. You may still have asthma attacks, but they should happen less often.

What should I do if I make a mistake when using Pulmicort?

It's crucial to stick to the instructions from your clinician. If you forget to take Pulmicort, you can take it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next dose. If that's the case, just skip the missed dose.

You may not feel the medication entering your lungs when you use the inhaler, but it generally does. So, be sure not to take another dose, even if you think it hasn't reached your lungs.

If you've taken more than you should but aren't noticing any unusual side effects, you probably won't need to see a doctor. The primary effect is that it dampens the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) function, which is your body's stress response system. However, if you start feeling unwell, it's important to get medical help.

Do I need a prescription for Pulmicort?

You'll need a prescription to buy Pulmicort. It's crucial for our clinician to review your medical history to ensure Pulmicort is safe for you to use.

Which dose of Pulmicort should I use?

The amount of medicine you need will depend on how serious your condition is. Sometimes, our clinician might suggest beginning with a smaller dose to observe how it affects you. If you don't notice any improvement, they may increase the dose.

If you're already on a higher dose of 200mcg and it's been working for you, you'll probably need to continue with it and have your condition checked regularly. It's crucial to speak with a clinician who can guide you on the most suitable dose for your needs.

Is Pulmicort similar to any other treatments?

There are other generic treatments available that also contain Budesonide as the active ingredient. They function in a similar manner to help manage and prevent asthma symptoms. However, since they're produced by different manufacturers, the price and packaging might vary.

How is Pulmicort different from other treatments for asthma?

Pulmicort is an asthma medication that's taken regularly over time to help manage symptoms and prevent asthma attacks. Depending on your condition, you might also need another inhaler for sudden asthma attacks. Pulmicort comes as a turbohaler, which means you don't have to press a button to get your dose, making it a more convenient choice compared to some other treatments.

Important Information

Pulmicort isn't right for everyone, and there are a few things you should keep in mind when using it.

Here's all the official information on it. If anything isn't clear, just let our clinician know, and they can discuss it with you.

Great entertainment, charges quickly!
Color: Orange
Super fun entertainment for dog! Toy ball charges quickly and the charge lasts for at least an hour of playtime for the dog. There are 2 modes. one mode Just lights up, which makes it easy for pet to chase it. The second mode not only lights up, but it also wiggles on the ground Randomly and speeds off in a direction on its own, which really makes it interesting for your dog or cat to follow! Once the ball is not touched for about thirty seconds, it goes dormant and it will stay like that As long as it's charged until somebody touches it, and then it starts up randomly lighting up and moving around the floor on its own And making a vibration noise. It's a lot of fun to watch the dog chase and play with, and it certainly keeps them entertained for a while! The laughs and fun entertainment are definitely worth it. The only downside is that my dog chewed off the soft fabric covering in about twenty minutes.And she's not a real big chewer. It looks better with the covering on it, but even without it, the ball works fine and she plays with it every day.So that is not a showstopper. But good to supervise your dog for safety.In case they are a chewer, and they decide to destroy the cover. But the ball works fine without the cover too!

Looooves her crazy new ball
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
Our 90lb mastiff/boxer mix Indie is very playful, curious and energetic. She needs toys that engage her and keep her busy. This ball does the job! We’ve had it for less than a week. Here’s what I love and what could be better: PROS: • She dog loves it. She whines for it. She gets absurdly excited when I get it out. She’s a bit of an anxious dog, but had zero problems with it inexplicably coming to life. • It lasts a while on a single charge, so it keeps her busy for a good long time. The longest we’ve used it at a stretch is an hour. • It’s pretty durable. She’s a super chewer (destroyed every “non-destructible” toy we’ve purchased for her), but the actual ball is hard plastic. She gnaws on it and it gets scratches, for sure. But she’s not going to chew it to pieces. • On carpet, it’s reasonably quiet. • It comes with a replaceable silicone button. • It’s easy to charge…just pull off the silicone button and the charging port is inside. • The silicone button is flush with the ball’s hard plastic surface, so there’s no way for her to pull the silicone button out and swallow it or get to the charging port. CONS: • Cover is worthless if your dog is a chewer. It goes on like an envelope with a Velcro closure. We took it off immediately. • Without the cover, it’s very noisy on hardwood floors. To us, it’s worth it. (Though, I work from home, so I might feel differently after the holiday vacation.) • She’s an XL dog, so she can fit the whole ball in her mouth easily and accidentally chomp down on the button and turn the ball off. Not a big deal, just something to know if you’ve got a Lab or larger dog. • With extended playtime, the two halves can come unscrewed, especially with a large dog who uses their paws/jaws on it a lot. Thankfully, it makes a loud buzzing noise when this happens, so we know we need to take it from her and screw it back together. Is this a potential danger? With the rechargeable battery inside, I’d say yes. But we also don’t let her play with this toy without supervision. So keep that in mind. Bottom line: It has its drawbacks, but it keeps her entertained and seems like it should last her at least 6 months with supervised play. Which is honestly REALLY good when we’re talking about Indie, Destroyer of Toys. I’d buy it again.

Difficult/impossible to unscrew plastic cups (in order to recharge the vibrating/blinking device)
Color: Orange
Generally, I don't leave feedback on items purchased. However, in this case, I feel compelled to do so in hopes the mechanical engineers (of this product) will take my input to heart and ultimately modify it. First the pros... - I have 2 high-energy dogs (Jack Russell Terriers) who love their toys (e.g., chewing bones, tug-of-war, etc.) but usually get bored with them rather quickly. - This interactive PetDroid ball, however, keeps them busy for a long time. - In fact, my smaller dog (Max) knows its storage location and sits (as early as 6 AM) in front of the cabinet so that I give him "his ball". It keeps him busy for up to 1-2 hours at a time. - Max is literally addicted to the PetDroid ball... his determinant play with it makes me laugh all the time. Now, the cons... - After several days of play, the exterior looks chewed up quite a bit. That's no problem though. - Unfortunately, the interior "threads/grooves" of the two plastic cups (for closing/fasting) are very tiny. - Thus, after an hour-long hard play, it is almost impossible to unscrew the 2 plastic cups in order to recharge the interior device. - It appears the 2 cups somehow come off track and get realigned from the inside. - At that point, I cannot unscrew the PetDroid ball in order to recharge the device.... and without the blinking/vibration, this toy is no longer fun for play. - Ultimately, I had to place the bottom half of the ball into a vise and then use a plumbing wrench to untwist it. Proposed Solution: - Increase the size of the plastic cups' interior threads/grooves so that they won't get realigned/come off track. - This would mitigate the current dilemma of NOT being able to unscrew the ball in order to recharge it. In my view, this should be a relatively simple fix and significantly improve the durability of this product. Thank you for your time.

Good fun and entertaining!
Color: Orange
A really fun interactive toy for your dog! It's pretty erratic and really gets him chasing it. The included soft cover was kinda hard to install and then it's hard to turn it off and on with the cover on, I feel like the cover didn't really improve it at all, sure it's louder without the cover but I feel like dog also likes it that way, he likes loud squeaky toys and this thing making a bunch of noise is appealing to him. We have mostly hardwood floors so it really gets moving, I'm sure on carpet it would be a bit quieter and maybe even a bit slower to move around but on hard smooth surfaces this things can really get zipping around abd get some speed to make him chase it. Overall a fun and entertaining toy.
