A single dose of nebulized budesonide decreases exhaled nitric oxide in children with acute asthma

Y G Tsai et al. J Pediatr. 2001 Sep.

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate whether a single dose of nebulized budesonide effectively decreased airway inflammation as demonstrated by exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) levels. A single dose of nebulized budesonide, but not nebulized terbutaline, rapidly decreased eNO levels in 6 hours. The decrease in eNO levels induced by nebulized budesonide was correlated to an increase in peak expiratory flow rate.
