Should Pulmicort 0.25 be administered without thinning with saline?
Hi, if diagnosed early childhood asthma, should pulmicort 0.25 be administered without thinning with saline? I did not ask the pulmonologist and on the schedule I do not have such information is only the dose given. If the child is healthy and I will give 2x a day in inhalation with salt, will I not flood the child's lungs? On the other hand, I'm afraid that the pulmicort itself will not be too strong?

Yes, you can use the drug undiluted. According to the Summary of Product Characteristics, only inhalations of 1 ml require dilution with saline to a volume of 2 ml. In other cases, this is not necessary. Due to the fact that the dosage of Pulmicort should be determined individually. It is difficult for an outsider to propose a specific dosage method based on such a short description. Pulmicort is not an expectorant drug, so there is no fear that it will "flood" your lungs. It is an anti-inflammatory drug whose task is to inhibit inflammation associated with asthma. If something worries you, I encourage you to consult your doctor or family doctor, who have the fullest knowledge about the current state of health of the patient.
