1. What is Nebulcort and what is it used for
Nebulcort contains the active substance flunisolide.
Nebulcort belongs to a group of medicines called glucocorticosteroids which exert a
marked action against allergies and inflammatory states.
Nebulcort is indicated in the treatment of some allergic diseases of the respiratory tract such as:
- bronchial asthma, an inflammatory disease characterized by an obstruction of the bronchi;
- chronic asthmatic bronchitis, a persistent inflammatory disease of the bronchi, accompanied by breathing difficulties;
- rhinitis, inflammation of the nasal mucosa, chronic and seasonal.
2. What you need to know before using Nebulcort
Do not use Nebulcort
- if you are allergic to the active ingredient or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- if you have an infectious disease called pulmonary tuberculosis, active or quiescent;
- if you have a bacterial, viral or fungal infection;
- if you are pregnant and breastfeeding (see section “Pregnancy and breastfeeding”).
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Nebulcort.
Pay particular attention with NEBULCORT:
- If you have a respiratory infection, such as tuberculosis or an untreated infection caused by viruses, bacteria or fungi, or an eye infection caused by herpes simplex virus. In these cases, you should not use this medicine.
- If you have had or recently had nasal trauma with a wound (ulcer) to the nasal septum or with recurrent bleeding (epistaxis), as this medicine slows down wound healing.
- If you use NEBULCORT for a long period of time, as this medicine can alter the natural microbial flora of the airways. In this case, covering therapy (restoration of the natural microbial flora) may be necessary. Prolonged use of the medicine can also lead to sensitization phenomena and, sometimes, to undesirable effects (see section “Possible side effects”). In this case, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor to establish appropriate therapy.
- If you use NEBULCORT for prolonged periods and at high doses, as it can cause a reduction in the activity of the gland that regulates the stress response (adrenal gland) and a reduction in the natural growth of the mucous membranes.
- Inhaled corticosteroids such as NEBULCORT can cause general undesirable effects due to hormonal imbalance, especially when prescribed at high doses for prolonged periods. Some of these effects include Cushing's syndrome (excess hormones in the bloodstream), cushingoid appearance (swelling of the face or trunk), adrenal suppression (suppression of the function of the gland that regulates the stress response), growth retardation in children and adolescents, reduced bone mineral density, cataracts and glaucoma. Rarely, a series of psychological and behavioral undesirable effects can occur, including psychomotor hyperactivity, sleep disturbances, anxiety,depression, aggression, (especially in children).
- If you are switching from systemic steroid therapy, for example by mouth, to therapy with NEBULCORT, as alterations of the gland that regulates the stress response (adrenal gland) may be in progress. Generally, systemic treatment should not be stopped abruptly. If you are receiving systemic treatment, you need medical supervision and special precautions, because the recovery of adrenal function (the gland that regulates the stress response) is slow. In this case, your disease (respiratory) must also be relatively "stabilized" by systemic therapy. Initially, your doctor will advise you to use NEBULCORT while continuing systemic treatment, gradually reducing the latter, monitoring adrenal function and modifying the dose of NEBULCORT according to the results obtained. During periods of stress or severe asthma attack, if you have switched from systemic treatment to NEBULCORT, you will need supplementary systemic steroid treatment. You should also undergo periodic checks of cortico-adrenal function (the gland that regulates the stress response), including measurements of cortisol levels (a hormone) in the morning in a resting state.
- If you are undergoing continuous treatment with steroid medications, as in this case a gradual and controlled transition from oral (by mouth) to topical endobronchial therapy (administered directly into the bronchi) is recommended.
The effect of NEBULCORT is not immediate, so this medicine is not effective during ongoing asthma crises.
Follow a regular use of this medicine for several days.
The use of NEBULCORT can mask some symptoms of infection and can also lead to new
infections.
decrease the dose without first consulting your doctor. Exceeding the recommended doses, in addition to
not improving the therapeutic efficacy of NEBULCORT, carries the risk of systemic effects from
absorption (general undesirable effects).
Contact your doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances.
For athletes: the use of the drug without therapeutic need constitutes doping and
may still result in positive anti-doping tests.
Children and adolescents
Nebulcort is not recommended in children under four years of age.
Be careful when using this medicine in children, as general undesirable effects such as growth retardation in children and adolescents may occur. Rarely, a series of psychological and behavioral undesirable effects can occur, including
psychomotor hyperactivity, sleep disturbances, anxiety, depression, aggression, behavioral disorders

- Cough and hoarseness: especially in particularly sensitive patients after inhalation of the aerosol.
- Mild and transient burning sensation of the nasal mucosa.
- Nasal congestion and nasal polyps. These side effects are most commonly found in patients undergoing therapy with drugs of a corticosteroid nature, and are a consequence of reducing systemic therapy. These patients should still be kept under strict control in the case of prolonged treatments, in order to promptly ascertain the possible appearance of systemic manifestations such as bone disease (osteoporosis), gastrointestinal lesions (peptic ulcer), impairment of the function of the adrenal gland with consequent lowering of blood pressure and weight loss)
- Cushing's syndrome (excess hormones in the bloodstream), Cushingoid appearance (swelling of the face or trunk),
- Impairment of adrenal function
- Growth retardation in children and adolescents
