humans. the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage of the indicated populations is unknown. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. clinical considerations disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk in women with poorly or moderately controlled asthma, there is an increased risk of several perinatal adverse outcomes such as preeclampsia in the mother and prematurity, low birth weight, and small for gestational age in the neonate. pregnant women with asthma should be closely monitored and medication adjusted as necessary to maintain optimal asthma control. labor or delivery there are no well-controlled human studies that have investigated the effects of budesonide during labor and delivery. data human data studies of pregnant women have not shown that inhaled budesonide increases the risk of abnormalities when administered during pregnancy. the results from a large population-based prospective cohort epidemiological study reviewing data from three swedish registries covering approximately 99% of the pregnancies from 1995 to 1997 (i.e., swedish medical birth registry; registry of congenital malformations; child cardiology registry) indicate no increased risk for congenital malformations from the use of inhaled budesonide during early pregnancy. congenital malformations were studied in 2014 infants born to mothers reporting the use of inhaled budesonide for asthma in early pregnancy (usually 10 to 12 weeks after the last menstrual period), the period when most major organ malformations occur. the rate of recorded congenital malformations was similar compared to the general population rate (3.8% vs. 3.5%, respectively). in addition, after exposure to inhaled budesonide, the number of infants born with orofacial clefts was similar to the expected number in the normal population (4 children vs. 3.3, respectively). these same data were utilized in a second study bringing the total to 2534 infants whose mothers were exposed to inhaled budesonide. in this study, the rate of congenital malformations among infants whose mothers were exposed to inhaled budesonide during early pregnancy was not different from the rate for all newborn babies during the same period (3.6%). animal data in a fertility and reproduction study, male rats were subcutaneously dosed for 9 weeks and females for 2 weeks prior to pairing and throughout the mating period. females were dosed up until weaning of their offspring. budesonide caused a decrease in prenatal viability and viability in the pups at birth and during lactation, along with a decrease in maternal body-weight gain, at doses 0.2 times the mrhdid (on a mcg/m2 basis at maternal subcutaneous doses of 20 mcg/kg/day and above). no such effects were noted at a dose 0.05 times the mrhdid (on a mcg/m2 basis at a maternal subcutaneous dose of 5 mcg/kg/day). in an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rabbits dosed during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 6 to 18, budesonide produced fetal loss, decreased fetal weight, and skeletal abnormalities at doses 0.5 times the mrhdid (on a mcg/m2 basis at a maternal subcutaneous dose of 25 mcg/kg/day). in an embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rats dosed during the period of organogenesis from gestation days 6 to 15, budesonide produced similar adverse fetal effects at doses approximately 5 times the mrhdid (on a mcg/m2 basis at a maternal subcutaneous dose of 500 mcg/kg/day). in another embryo-fetal development study in pregnant rats, no structural abnormalities or embryocidal effects were seen at doses approximately 2 times the mrhdid (on a mcg/m2 basis at maternal inhalation doses up to 250 mcg/kg/day). in a peri-and post-natal development study, rats dosed from gestation day 15 to postpartum day 21, budesonide had no effects on delivery, but did have an effect on growth and development of offspring. offspring survival was reduced and surviving offspring had decreased mean body weights at birth and during lactation at doses less than 0.2 times the mrhdid and higher (on a mcg/m2 basis at maternal subcutaneous doses of 20 mcg/kg/day and higher). these findings occurred in the presence of maternal toxicity. risk summary there are no available data on the effects of budesonide on the breastfed child or on milk production. budesonide, like other inhaled corticosteroids, is present in human milk [see data] . the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for budesonide and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from budesonide or from the underlying maternal condition. data human data with budesonide delivered via dry powder inhaler indicates that the total daily oral dose of budesonide available in breast milk to the infant is approximately 0.3% to 1% of the dose inhaled by the mother [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . safety and effectiveness in children six months to 12 months of age has been evaluated but not established. safety and effectiveness in children 12 months to 8 years of age have been established [see clinical pharmacology (12.2), adverse reactions (6.1)] . a 12-week study in 141 pediatric patients 6 to 12 months of age with mild to moderate asthma or recurrent/persistent wheezing was conducted. all patients were randomized to receive either 0.5 mg or 1 mg of budesonide or placebo once daily. adrenal-axis function was assessed with an acth stimulation test at the beginning and end of the study, and mean changes from baseline in this variable did not indicate adrenal suppression in patients who received budesonide versus placebo. however, on an individual basis, 7 patients in this study (6 in the budesonide treatment arms and 1 in the placebo arm) experienced a shift from having a normal baseline stimulated cortisol level to having a subnormal level at week 12 [see clinical pharmacology (12.2)] . pneumonia was observed more frequently in patients treated with budesonide than in patients treated with placebo, (n = 2, 1, and 0) in the budesonide 0.5 mg, 1 mg, and placebo groups, respectively. a dose dependent effect on growth was also noted in this 12-week trial. infants in the placebo arm experienced an average growth of 3.7 cm over 12 weeks compared with 3.5 cm and 3.1 cm in the budesonide 0.5 mg and 1 mg arms respectively. this corresponds to estimated mean (95% ci) reductions in 12-week growth velocity between placebo and budesonide 0.5 mg of 0.2 cm (-0.6 to 1.0) and between placebo and budesonide 1 mg of 0.6 cm (-0.2 to 1.4). these findings support that the use of budesonide in infants 6 to 12 months of age may result in systemic effects and are consistent with findings of growth suppression in other studies with inhaled corticosteroids. controlled clinical studies have shown that inhaled corticosteroids may cause a reduction in growth velocity in pediatric patients. in these studies, the mean reduction in growth velocity was approximately one centimeter per year (range 0.3 to 1.8 cm per year) and appears to be related to dose and duration of exposure. this effect has been observed in the absence of laboratory evidence of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (hpa)-axis suppression, suggesting that growth velocity is a more sensitive indicator of systemic corticosteroid exposure in pediatric patients than some commonly used tests of hpa-axis function. the long-term effects of this reduction in growth velocity associated with orally inhaled corticosteroids, including the impact on final adult height, are unknown. the potential for “catch up” growth following discontinuation of treatment with orally inhaled corticosteroids has not been adequately studied. in a study of asthmatic children 5 to 12 years of age, those treated with budesonide administered via a dry powder inhaler 200 mcg twice daily (n=311) had a 1.1-centimeter reduction in growth compared with those receiving placebo (n=418) at the end of one year; the difference between these two treatment groups did not increase further over three years of additional treatment. by the end of four years, children treated with the budesonide dry powder inhaler and children treated with placebo had similar growth velocities. conclusions drawn from this study may be confounded by the unequal use of corticosteroids in the treatment groups and inclusion of data from patients attaining puberty during the course of the study. the growth of pediatric patients receiving inhaled corticosteroids, including budesonide, should be monitored routinely (e.g., via stadiometry). the potential growth effects of prolonged treatment should be weighed against clinical benefits obtained and the risks and benefits associated with alternative therapies. to minimize the systemic effects of inhaled corticosteroids, including budesonide, each patient should be titrated to his/her lowest effective dose [see dosage and administration (2), warnings and precautions (5.8)] . of  the 215 patients in 3 clinical trials of budesonide in adult patients, 65 (30%) were 65 years of age or older, while 22 (10%) were 75 years of age or older. no overall differences in safety were observed between these patients and younger patients, and other reported clinical or medical surveillance experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. formal pharmacokinetic studies using budesonide have not been conducted in patients with hepatic impairment. however, since budesonide is predominantly cleared by hepatic metabolism, impairment of liver function may lead to accumulation of budesonide in plasma. therefore, patients with hepatic disease should be closely monitored. budesonide (bue  des' oh nide) inhalation suspension 2 ml ampules containing 0.5 mg for inhalation only. do not swallow. only use budesonide inhalation suspension with a jet nebulizer machine that is connected to an air compressor. do not use with an ultrasonic nebulizer. read the patient information that comes with budesonide inhalation suspension before your child starts using it and each time you get a refill. there may be new

suspension, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist. what is budesonide inhalation suspension? budesonide inhalation suspension is an inhaled corticosteroid medicine. budesonide inhalation suspension is a long-term maintenance medicine used to control and prevent asthma symptoms in children ages 12 months to 8 years. inhaled corticosteroids help to decrease inflammation in the lungs. inflammation in the lungs can lead to asthma symptoms. budesonide inhalation suspension helps reduce swelling and inflammation in the lungs, and helps keep the airways open to reduce asthma symptoms. budesonide inhalation suspension does not treat the sudden symptoms (wheezing, cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain or tightness) of an asthma attack. always have a short-acting beta2 -agonist medicine (rescue inhaler) with you to treat sudden symptoms. if your child does not have an inhaled, short-acting bronchodilator, ask your healthcare provider to have one prescribed for your child. it is not known if budesonide inhalation suspension is safe or effective in children younger than 12 months or older than 8 years. who should not use budesonide inhalation suspension? do not use budesonide inhalation suspension: - to treat sudden symptoms of asthma - if your child is allergic to budesonide or any of the ingredients in budesonide inhalation suspension. see the end of this leaflet for a complete list of ingredients in budesonide inhalation suspension. what should i tell my healthcare provider before using budesonide inhalation suspension? before your child uses budesonide inhalation suspension, tell your healthcare provider if your child: - has an allergy. see the section "who should not use budesonide inhalation suspension?" there is a complete list of

(12.3)] safety and effectiveness in children six months to 12 months of age has been evaluated but not established. safety and effectiveness in children 12 months to 8 years of age have been established [see clinical pharmacology (12.2), and adverse reactions (6.1)]. a 12-week study in 141 pediatric patients 6 to 12 months of age with mild to moderate asthma or recurrent/persistent wheezing was conducted. all patients were randomized to receive either 0.5 mg or 1 mg of budesonide inhalation suspension or placebo once daily. adrenal-axis function was assessed with an acth stimulation test at the beginning and end of the study, and mean changes from baseline in this variable did not indicate adrenal suppression in patients who received budesonide inhalation suspension versus placebo. however, on an individual basis, 7 patients in this study (6 in the budesonide inhalation suspension treatment arms and 1 in the placebo arm) experienced a shift from having a normal baseline stimulated cortisol level to having a subnormal level at week 12 [see clinical pharmacology, pharmacodynamics (12.2)]. pneumonia was observed more frequently in patients treated with budesonide inhalation suspension than in patients treated with placebo, (n = 2, 1, and 0) in the budesonide inhalation suspension 0.5 mg, 1 mg, and placebo groups, respectively. a dose dependent effect on growth was also noted in this 12-week trial. infants in the placebo arm experienced an average growth of 3.7 cm over 12 weeks compared with 3.5 cm and 3.1 cm in the budesonide inhalation suspension 0.5 mg and 1 mg arms respectively. this corresponds to estimated mean (95% ci) reductions in 12-week growth velocity between placebo and budesonide inhalation suspension 0.5 mg of 0.2 cm (-0.6 to 1.0) and between placebo and budesonide inhalation suspension 1 mg of 0.6 cm (-0.2 to 1.4). these findings support that the use of budesonide inhalation suspension in infants 6 to 12 months of age may result in systemic effects and are consistent with findings of growth suppression in other studies with inhaled corticosteroids. controlled clinical studies have shown that inhaled corticosteroids may cause a reduction in growth velocity in pediatric patients. in these studies, the mean reduction in growth velocity was approximately one centimeter per year (range 0.3 to 1.8 cm per year) and appears to be related to dose and duration of exposure. this effect has been observed in the absence of laboratory evidence of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (hpa)-axis suppression, suggesting that growth velocity is a more sensitive indicator of systemic corticosteroid exposure in pediatric patients than some commonly used tests of hpa-axis function. the long-term effects of this reduction in growth velocity associated with orally inhaled corticosteroids, including the impact on final adult height, are unknown. the potential for "catch up" growth following discontinuation of treatment with orally inhaled corticosteroids has not been adequately studied. in a study of asthmatic children 5 to 12 years of age, those treated with budesonide administered via a dry powder inhaler 200 mcg twice daily (n=311) had a 1.1-centimeter reduction in growth compared with those receiving placebo (n=418) at the end of one year; the difference between these two treatment groups did not increase further over three years of additional treatment. by the end of four years, children treated with the budesonide dry powder inhaler and children treated with placebo had similar growth velocities. conclusions drawn from this study may be confounded by the unequal use of corticosteroids in the treatment groups and inclusion of data from patients attaining puberty during the course of the study. the growth of pediatric patients receiving inhaled corticosteroids, including budesonide inhalation suspension, should be monitored routinely (e.g., via stadiometry). the potential growth effects of prolonged treatment should be weighed against clinical benefits obtained and the risks and benefits associated with alternative therapies. to minimize the systemic effects of inhaled corticosteroids, including budesonide inhalation suspension each patient should be titrated to his/her lowest effective dose [see dosage and administration (2)and warnings and precautions (5.8)].  of the 215 patients in 3 clinical trials of budesonide inhalation suspension in adult patients, 65 (30%) were 65 years of age or older, while 22 (10%) were 75 years of age or older. no overall differences in safety were observed between these patients and younger patients, and other reported clinical or medical surveillance experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. formal pharmacokinetic studies using budesonide inhalation suspension have not been conducted in patients with hepatic impairment. however, since budesonide is predominantly cleared by hepatic metabolism, impairment of liver function may lead to accumulation of budesonide in plasma. therefore, patients with hepatic disease should be closely monitored.
