Hello!Our 5 years old baby (wt. 16 kg. & ht. 3 6 ) is taking budecort 100 for last 6 months, 2 dozes of 2 puffs each. In July 2010 she recovered from severe pneumonia and after taking budecort 100, presently she is quite ok. Is it safe to continue budecort for such a long time. Please advice.
Hi, decor inhaler is given for prolonged period if child have repeated wheezing episodes. Child Chat Doctor.  I suggest you that if your child has no symptoms or decreased symptoms decor can be tapered and stopped after 3 to 4 months. I hope this has helped you. Regards -
