Committee Recommendations (1)

Budesonide Easyhaler may be considered in patients aged 12-17 if these other preferred, licensed devices are not suitable:

Clenil Modulite (beclometasone MDI) plus spacer (Volumatic, Able Spacer, Optichamber) or Qvar (beclometasone MDI) plus spacer (Aerochamber plus, Able Spacer, Optichamber) are the locally agreed preferred ICS devices.

If a breath activated device is necessary, consider:
Easyhaler Beclometasone (breath activated) DPI
Qvar Easi-Breathe (breath activated) MDI

Prescribe inhaler devices by BRAND to ensure consistency and avoid confusion
