Recommended initial dose: Adults/Elderly: 1000 mcg-2000 mcg total daily dose.
Children 12 years and older: Dosage for adults.
Children 6 months to 12 years: 250 mcg-500 mcg total daily dose.
Once daily dosing: Once daily dosing may be considered both in adult and pediatric patients, who require a maintenance dose of 250 mcg to 1000 mcg budesonide per day.
Once daily administration can be initiated both in noncorticosteroid treated patients and in patients well-controlled by inhaled glucocorticosteroids. The dose can be administered either in the morning or in the evening. If deterioration of asthma occurs, the dose should be increased and divided over the day as necessary.
Dose division and miscibility: Budesonide nebulizing Suspension can be mixed with 0.9% saline and with solutions for nebulization of terbutaline, salbutamol, fenoterol, acetylcysteine, sodium cromoglycate or ipratropium. The admixture should be used within 30 minutes. Single dose units can be divided, to allow dose adjustments. The single dose unit is marked with a line (Budesonide Nebulizing Suspension 250 mcg/mL and 500 mcg/mL only). This line indicates the 1 mL volume when the single dose unit is held up-side down. If only 1 mL is to be used, empty the contents until the surface of the liquid reaches the indicator line. Store the opened single dose unit in the envelope, protected from light. Open single dose units should be used within 12 hours.
Direction for Use: Shake well before use. Asthlon should be administered via a nebulizer equipped with a mouthpiece or suitable face mask.
To minimize the risk of oropharyngeal candida infection, the patient should rinse their mouth out with water after inhaling.
Wash the facial skin with water after using the face mask to prevent irritation and maintain nebulizer according to manufacturer's instructions.
