No. Pulmicort Turbuhaler is not a reliever medication and should not be used to treat an acute asthma attack. You need to take your reliever medication (bronchodilator) as prescribed by your doctor/health care provider. If your attack is not relieved or gets worse, contact your doctor/health care provider immediately. Pulmicort Turbuhaler is not a bronchodilator and is not intended to treat acute asthma attacks.
