Turbuhaler - Inhalation corticosteroids (kor-ti-koe-STER-oids) are
cortisone-like medicines. They are used to help prevent the symptoms of
asthma. When used regularly every day, inhalation corticosteroids
decrease the number and severity of asthma attacks. However, they will
not relieve an asthma attack that has already started.
Inhaled corticosteroids work by preventing certain cells in the lungs
and breathing passages from releasing substances that cause asthma
symptoms.
Pulmicort Turbuhaler medicine may be used with other asthma medicines,
such as bronchodilators (medicines that open up narrowed breathing
passages) or other corticosteroids taken by mouth. |
